Brisbane news LIVE updates: Two meteor showers to light up Brisbane sky | Young man dies after six-vehicle crash
Two cosmic activities shower the fire ball this week as they approach to search for darkness, to brave the cold and to throw a dazzling pair for those who are willing to throw their phones.
“We also have two meteor shower,” said Devika Kamath, Astrophysicist Associate Professor at the University of Macquarie. “You really see them well from the Southern Hemisphere, and Australia has a view in the front row.”

Southern Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower will reach the intensive intensity from Monday to Wednesday in the midst of its six -week view. Aquarius is the third most difficult meteor shower of the year and passes up to 20 at the summit of up to 20.
The Alpha Capricornids shower was shooting on Monday night to close levels and would reach its brightest level on Wednesday. The Capricornids shower is weaker than buckets per hour with approximately five meteors per hour, but can send unpredictable and dramatic light scorching explosions in the sky.

The best time to view the showers will be between Monday and Wednesday (28-30 July) when both cosmic activities are brightest.
Stargazers must find a imaging point away from light pollution, such as buildings, street lamps and car headlights, and allow half an hour to adapt to the darkness.
