TL;DR Summary

This weekend, two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquarids and Alpha Capricornids, will peak simultaneously, but the brightness of the nearly full moon may hinder visibility. The Alpha Capricornids are known for producing slow, bright yellow fireballs, while the Southern Delta Aquarids are best seen from the southern tropics. Stargazers in the Gulf Coast to the Northeast can expect favorable weather conditions, while cloudy conditions may obstruct visibility in the Rocky Mountains, Desert Southwest, and parts of the Midwest.
