A double meteor shower peak is expected this week, although viewing conditions may be challenging. The Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids are the two showers involved, with both reaching their peak on Thursday night into Friday. The American Meteor Society is tracking the showers, which are active during parts of July and August.

A third shower, the Perseids, is also active but will not peak until mid-August. Further details on the meteor showers, including viewing tips, are available from the American Meteor Society, as reported by WXYZ Channel 7. Sky-gazers in the Detroit area can look to the society for more information on how to catch a glimpse of the cosmic activity.
