Starwatch: look out for the Delta Aquariids meteor shower

Formed from dust once in the tail of comet 96P/Machholz, the meteors can leave persistent trails in the sky

The Guardian

I saw a beautiful #meteor last night. A part of the #Aquariids shower.

It appeared as a bright light, right on the airport flight approach. At first I thought it was a #UAP because it was burning bright orange (classic Orb). But then I saw it traverse at least ~5 degrees of the sky on a descent trajectory. It developed tail, started burning green and just as I was about to pull out my phone (it was up that long) it splashed in a splosh of orange fragments and disappeared.
Pretty.

Then when I got home, I saw another orange burst, but it was with a corner of my eye, and by the time I turned my head, the show was over.

Watch for #fireballs from two #meteor showers in the coming days

Two meteor showers, the Delta #Aquariids and Alpha #Capricornids, are both expected to peak during the evenings of July 30 and 31.
