An extraordinary celestial event could unfold in the night sky in less than a decade if an asteroid passing Earth collides with the Moon. The impact of asteroid 2024 YR4 into the lunar surface would likely send debris flying out towards us, resulting in a unique meteor shower composed entirely of moon dust.
The meteor showers will peak on the nights of July 29 and 30, 2025, with up to 25 meteors per hour visible in dark skies.
Bremont has introduced the MB Meteor, the latest evolution of its long-standing partnership with Martin-Baker, the British ejection seat manufacturer.
In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.
Two minor meteor showers — the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids — peak overnight on Monday (July 29-30), making it a great night for stargazing.
