Look up to the sky on July 28, 2015 and you should be able to see the annual meteor shower of the Delta Aquarids.
Visible from 9:00p.m. EDT the meteor shower is best viewed from the Southern hemisphere and southern parts of the Northern hemisphere.
If you’re not in those regions, don't worry! You can also check out the two-hour livestream below from Slooh with astronomers Will Gater and Bob Berman as they discuss and answer viewers’ questions via Twitter using #SloohDeltaAquarids.
The origins of the passing Delta Aquarids have been mired in mystery since the late 1800s. Some astronomers theorize that when the Earth passes by the Comet 96P Machholz, a stream of debris causes the meteor shower. However, the comet was discovered in 1986, while the meteor shower has been spotted since the 1870s.
