Why this matters

The American Meteor Society lists both peaks for July 30–31, 2027, with 14% Moon illumination. The Southern Delta Aquariids favor southern tropics; Alpha Capricornids are seen on both sides of the equator.

The Delta Aquariids can bring many faint meteors, while the slower Alpha Capricornids occasionally bring bright fireballs. This is one combined listing to avoid two reminders for the same night; neither a fireball nor a meteor count is guaranteed.
