Three Meteor Showers in the Sky

Did you know that three meteor showers will soon grace our skies? The Perseids, the Alpha Capricornids, and, in the Southern United States and Southern Hemisphere, the Delta Aquariids will all converge with shooting stars and the occasional bright fireball. On July 30, the Moon will be close to its lowest brightness, meaning there will be a chance to see all three! Head to an area with little light pollution away from cities and suburbs, and keep an eye on the night sky between midnight and dawn to witness some celestial beauty.

When I was a teenager I saw a daylight meteor when I was at camp. It was a huge fireball in the sky. Nobody believed me. My counselor said “it was probably a hawk” as if I could mistake a giant fireball for a bird 😂. Well the next morning we woke up to the radio talking about a huge meteor coming down in our area. So happy I got to see it

Saw what I would call a spectacular fireball from Omaha NE on July 30th at around 11:30pm.

This is on the morning of July 30th 00:00 - 06:00, correct? Not on the evening of the 30th, with the event taking place on the morning of July 31st….
Just wanting to confirm so I can make plans to travel an hour away from light pollution to view it from Melbourne, Australia
