Once upon a time, there were two twinkling star shows in the night sky. ๐ In late July, everyone looked up to see the sky filled with dancing lights. First, there was the Southern Delta Aquariid star show, sparkling the brightest late at night. Then, a smaller star show, the Alpha Capricornids, joined in with its own bright stars. Together, they made the sky a magical place, especially after midnight when the moon was just a tiny sliver, and the sky was dark and clear. โจ People from everywhere wrapped in blankets, their eyes wide with wonder, watched as up to 25 stars an hour raced across the sky, leaving fiery tails behind. If you stayed up late and kept your phone away, the stars seemed to shine just for you. And so, the sky was alive with stories, each star telling its own tale until the sun came again. The moral to the story? Sometimes, the most wondrous shows need no tickets, just a dark sky and your imagination. ๐
