Each year, the night sky offers its quiet reminders that Earth moves through something larger than itself — but late July brings a rarer reminder still. Two meteor showers will peak within days of each other, scattering fireballs across the darkness for observers from Metro Vancouver to the Southern Hemisphere. The Delta Aquariids lead the pairing, producing not merely streaks but genuine fireballs bright enough to catch the unprepared eye. It is the kind of convergence that asks us, simply, to look up.
