In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.

Known as one of the top meteor showers of the year because of its many bright shooting stars, the Perseid shower started producing some meteors on July 17 and will continue to do so through Aug. 23, according to the American Meteor Society.

The chance to see two or three meteor showers in the night sky all at once is coming up, with a treat coming to the Oklahoma skies in just a few days.

According to NASA, meteor showers (often called shooting stars) are produced when pieces of comet debris heat up and burn as they enter the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in bright bursts of light streaking across the sky.

Another fairly faint meteor shower, the Southern Delta Aquariids, begins in mid-July, peaking on July 30th, the same night as the Alpha Capricornids. These showers also fly through the southern sky, but are easy to tell apart from the Alpha Capricornids because they are much faster.

The Perseids, alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids are all currently active, with the latter two peaking in late July.
