This year, the Delta Aquariids are active between July 18 and Aug. 21 — peaking on the night of July 29-30, according to the American Meteor Society. However, this meteor shower has a broad peak.

This month, India will witness a rare celestial event: a "double" meteor shower featuring both the Alpha Capricornids and the Southern Delta Aquariids, peaking within 24 hours of each other.
