Don't miss your chance to capture the Delta Aquarids meteor shower this weekend.

The sky show runs from mid-July to late-August, and peaks July 28-29. As earthsky.org reports, this weekend is particularly favorablebecause the new moon arrives on July 26, so moonlight won't interfere.

"It gets that name because the meteors seem to radiate from the constellation Aquarius," explains Kelly Beatty, a senior contributing editor for Sky & Telescope magazine.

Aquarius rises around midnight, so Beatty says you'll get the best view late Monday night into Tuesday morning.

"What you want to do is find yourself a really dark spot, free from any light that's shining in your eyes, and look up," Beatty says. You could see as many as 10 shooting stars an hour.

NASA says the Delta Aquarids are best viewed in the Southern Hemisphere and southern latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly the tropics.

Not only will the moon be a factor, but you'll need the weather to cooperate, too. This coming weekend will bring clear skies to the Northwest and Deep South, while a chance of storms and severe weather rises for the Midwest and Great Lakes starting Saturday night.
