About 20 stars per hour appeared in the sky, moving at a pace of 41 kilometres per second, according to Forbes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shower occurs 45 degrees from the constellation of Aquarius. Astronomers believe that the Delta Aquariids shower is caused by the comet 96P\/Machholz, which orbits the sun every five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Delta Aquariids Meteor showers runs from July 12 until August 23. According to the American Metro Society, because the shower peaked this morning, there will be a high rate of meteors for the next week. AMS added that Delta Aquariids tend to be faint and lack both persistent trains and fireballs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delta Aquariids was discernible this morning because the moon sank in the West after midnight, so moonlight did not interfere with the visibility of the shower. This morning was not the last chance to watch shooting stars this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Perseids meteor shower will also peak this summer. According to Forbes, this shower is the most well-known and loved of them all. It will be fun from July 23 through August 20. The peak dates are Tuesday, August 11 and Wednesday, August 12.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2604\ufe0f DELTA AQUARIIDS METEOR SHOWER<br \/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeltaAquariids?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DeltaAquariids<\/a> peak tonight!
