Delta Delights Meteor Shower to Shine Over Arab Skies
The skies of the Arab world are preparing to present the Delta Delphinids meteor shower, with its peak expected before dawn on Thursday. This spectacular display can be seen with the naked eye, especially in areas far from city lights. It is anticipated that the meteors will travel at speeds of around 41 kilometers per second, with an expected rate of about 25 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. However, their visibility depends on the clarity of the sky and the level of light pollution, particularly with the nearly full moon, which reduces the visibility of faint meteors. This phenomenon results from tiny particles originating from comet 96P/Machholz, and it occurs annually between July 12 and August 23. Its activity often overlaps with the Perseids, making this a particularly good time to observe and enjoy memorable celestial sights.
