The Southern Delta Aquariids are a meteor shower typically active for a few weeks starting from mid-July. The shower travels at a velocity of 25 miles per second, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS) and is best seen by those living further south.

Three meteor showers - the Southern Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids and Perseids - are all currently active.

The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak next week, dazzling Texas skies with shooting stars. The meteor shower, which has been active since July 17, will peak the night of Aug. 12 into the early hours of Aug. 13, according to NASA.
