Astronomy enthusiasts are expecting an extremely rare celestial event on July 29-30, 2025. The synchronized activation of two meteor streams promises a spectacular show with an intensity of up to 25 luminous trajectories within an hour.

Specialists emphasize the exceptional favorability of astronomical conditions. The lunar phase, close to the new moon, guarantees optimal visibility and minimal light pollution, which makes the observation extremely attractive.

The Alpha Capricornids are of special interest, whose meteors are distinguished by bright fiery trails. Experts recommend conducting the observation in open spaces, far from city lights, with the early morning hours being the most suitable.
