Twin Meteor Showers and Mid Night Potluck Snack

Come join us to watch and enjoy a midnight snack potluck while watching a duel peaking meteor showers.

Meteor showers happen all year. They happen so often that they overlap for significant percentages of the year. There are two times when three meteor showers will be active in October, for example. But a rarer feat? Having two meteor showers that peak at the same time. It'll happen later this month, on July 29.
The show will come courtesy of the Alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids meteor showers. The former began on Saturday and runs through Aug. 12, with a peak of July 29. Southern delta Aquariids will start on July 28, peaks early on July 29, and then runs until Aug. 12 as well. That means for one evening, the two meteor showers are peaking at the same time, giving stargazers a much better chance at catching a shooting star.
Of the two, the Southern delta Aquarids is typically the larger meteor shower, tossing upwards of 25 meteors per hour during its zenith. Alpha Capricornids is a lesser meteor shower, with about five per hour on average. Combined, they'll output an estimated 30 per hour.

Bring your favorite snack and drink. Water, coffee, tea will be available, along with oat milk and raw sugar.

Viewing and pot luck will occur at my house in Pleasant Hill/Creswell. Come join us. For those who brave the entirety, I will make breakfast a la Kurt.

Do bring a comfortable foldable chair to sit on.
