Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through debris trails left by comets, with different showers having varying peak times and viewing rates; for example, the Perseids peak around August 12-13 with up to 100 meteors per hour, while the Southern Delta Aquarids peaks July 30th with 20-25 meteors per hour. These cosmic events, while typically harmless, can occasionally produce powerful impacts that may cause seismic activity or atmospheric changes, as demonstrated by historical events like the 2018 Chelyabinsk meteor that registered as a small earthquake.

️ Fire Balls BOMBARDING Earth as 3 Meteor Storms just Hit at Once
Added:This is big breaking news. Three massive meteor storms are now slamming into Earth and people are capturing massive green meteors in our atmosphere. So, let's get into all the details here. I even saw myself uh two nights ago. I stood outside for about an hour around midnight and I saw about seven meteors in around an hour. Okay, so very frequent like over one every 10 minutes I was seeing you know one every 8 minutes or something along those lines I was seeing a meteor. All right. So, these are definitely increasing in frequency and you guys can see here some of the pictures that people are capturing is phenomenal. All right, you guys can see here this photo of this meteor that has a green streak. All right, and that's indicative of magnesium inside of the meteor. All right, so these are moving towards Earth. There's three different ones right now. And excuse me if you hear the creek in the background. I'm sitting over by the water and it's flowing in the back if you hear that. There's three different ones though. The Southern Delta Aquarids is happening right now and it's peaking on July 30th. All right. So that's if you're seeing meteors currently, this could be a part of these fireballs.
All right. the southern delta Aquarius.
There's also the alpha kappa coordinates that is peaking late July as well. So in the next week or so it will be peaking.
So be on the lookout for that. Um some places you can see up to 20 an hour during these peaks. Uh maybe 25 an hour if you're in a really dark sky area.
But this is going to peak next week. So wait next week. So around uh you know like Thursday next week is when this will be peaking. So be prepared for that. You could see dozens of meteors if you're just sitting outside for an hour. All right.
Also the alpha capacornids it's a lot lower expected rates but the meteors are slower moving and can produce large yellow fireballs. All right. So the rates for that is only going to be like 10 to 5 to 10 an hour.
But that will produce larger ones. All right. You guys can see here this was posted from Eric the cat. this video of this meteor that he saw right just a few nights ago. So, pretty incredible. It definitely seems like we're having a major increase in meteor activity. Even the American Meteorological Society uh came out with a statement a couple months ago saying that there's definitely an increase in meteor activity.
So, something's going on. All right. You guys can also see here uh here's another picture that he posted. It says, "I captured a really nice meteor this morning. I also captured on video clip coming soon from Eric the Space Cat on X." All right. And I've seen a ton of them. I don't have the proper equipment to actually capture these photos, but I saw seven of them. Maybe eight. Seven or eight. It's hard to keep track.
You're like just standing out there kind of zoning out just looking at the sky and just looking. All right. So, it's hard to keep track sometimes exactly how many you saw, but I saw seven or eight of them and that's a lot. So, what do you guys think is going on? There's also the Percads meteor shower as well that just started last week on July 17th. It's going to peak around August 12th to August 13th.
And the best nights are going to be the morning of August 12th and 13th. All right? So, like 2 in the morning or something along those lines when it's darkest before the sun starts to come up at all, but the sun is completely gone.
Uh, you know, 1 in the morning around there is probably going to be your best bet. And that's going to have expected rates of up to 100 per hour. All right, during its peak time and typically have 30 to 50 per hour from rural dark sky communities. All right, so that's a lot.
That's almost every minute. If you have 50 per hour, almost every single minute you're seeing a 100 per hour is insane.
You're seeing two a minute. So be on the lookout for this. Next week it's going to be peaking for the southern delta aquarids and the alpha capacornids. But the perce is peaking in mid to early August. All right, a few more weeks from now, like three more weeks or so. But it's going to every night it's going to increase. All right, so if you want to look now as well, there's already meteor showers and storms happening currently.
So be prepared for this. Be on the lookout. The perceives will produce fast meteors that often leave bright persistent trains. Many are bright and colorful as well.
And it will uh it's debris from a large periodic comet called the 109P swift tuttle. All right. That's what is creating this perceives meteor shower. It's a large comet that circulates through our solar system and periodically passes nearby the Earth and along with it drags a lot of this debris and that external debris from its tail end whips into Earth and that's when we see these meteor showers. So, we most likely won't see giant meteors, but it's possible. If you guys remember, Boston, Massachusetts just last month had a massive explosive meteor over the entire city and it was felt in Rhode Island. It was felt all around. It was captured on surveillance footage and video. It actually registered as a very small earthquake in the region. All right. So, these things are powerful. They're saying the explosive capability of it was tens of thousands of pounds of TNT.
So, these things could happen again from these three meteor showers that are passing through and passing by the Earth currently. So, nothing to be worried about, but something to be aware of.
It's a cool experience to see, but it also is how life has changed on Earth throughout our history. A lot of the times major changes come from cosmic impacts. things like comets hitting the Earth, having a collision, uh possibly even causing a tilt shift to the Earth's axis, affecting its rotation, affecting its atmosphere, putting dust in the air, uh creating craters, creating uh you know, all types of potentially triggering volcanic activity, earthquake activity, right? All of these things have been linked to massive meteors and comets in the past. So, it's something to be aware of when these things are happening. Uh, nothing like that is expected, but who knows what the future brings. If you guys remember last year as well, we had this threeey atlas that was moving relatively close to Earth and through our solar system. And that kind of caught the experts by surprise. All right. So, there are these cosmic phenomenons that do happen that can potentially threaten Earth and alter our history. So, let me know what you guys think down below. Hope you guys are staying safe, staying prepared, staying stocked up, and staying ready just in case. Hope you have big blessings for your life and your family, and I hope you have a big old blessed day.
