The Delta Aquarids Meteor Shower 2014 has officially arrived. It is scheduled to start on July 12 this year. According to reports, the peak of the meteor shower should be anticipated after midnight tonight.

According amsmeteors.org, Delta Aquarids Meteor shower are "strong shower best seen from the southern tropics. North of the equator the radiant is located lower in the southern sky and therefore rates are less than seen from further south. These meteors produce good rates for a week centered on the night of maximum. These are usually faint meteors that lack both persistent trains and fireballs."

According to reports, the highly anticipated Delta Aquarids Meteor Shower officially starts tonight but it won't be at its peak visibility until July 29. According to reports, people can expect to see 15-25 bright yellow shooting stars per hour. Spacedex.com states that each meteor will be traveling at a speed of 25.5 miles/ 41 kilometers per second. Star gazers should be ready to catch a glimpse of the phenomenon, and should go to a dark area to be able to see the view the best.

The month is filled with spectacular celestial activities and of course, it will be a waste if it is missed. One should be able to know when, where and how to witness the amazing activities that the sky bring.

It will be harder for those who live in the city to see the sights as the excess light can make a huge difference. As much as possible, it is best to get away from any light pollution. You could set up a star gazing party on a roof or terrace with the lights off. According to some, it is also advisable to stay in the dark for about 20 minutes so the eyes can adjust to the dark environment.

When the peak hour arrives, which is after midnight this year, it is best to look toward the southeastern portion of the sky which is where the usual Delta Aquarids Meteors strike. But of course the meteor shower won't always be coming from one direction.

According to theskyscrapers.org, "An attentive observer will notice that meteors appear to radiate from a fixed point in the sky. Though not all the meteors begin exactly at this reference point, called the radiant, all associated shower members can be traced back to the radiant point. This effect is one of perspective, much like railroad tracks that appear to converge at an observer's horizon. The meteors actually travel along parallel paths through space."
