Rare triple meteor shower over SC tonight!

The meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids, both peak tonight and the annual Perseid meteor shower is beginning as well! As you can see from this map from Accu Weather Astronomy we will be in a good place to see it.

NASA said the meteor shower can bring approximately 20 meteors per hour, with each one zipping by at a speed of about 25 miles per second. You can see them best between Midnight and dawn. Look low on the southern horizon. It may take your eyes up to 30 minutes to adjust to the night sky, so give it some time.
