1. Tomorrow night, skywatchers will be treated to a dazzling display as a blazing meteor shower is set to fill the skies with over 120 shooting stars an hour.

2. This highly anticipated lit meteor shower is known as the Alpha Capricornid meteor shower and it only occurs once every five years.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

3. The meteor shower is expected to peak between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM tomorrow morning, so be sure to set your alarms and prepare for an amazing show.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

4. The meteor shower gets its name from the constellation Capricornus, and it will be visible from almost anywhere in the world.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

5. Experts say that this year's Alpha Capricornids will be particularly spectacular due to the new moon, which will provide darker skies for optimal viewing.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

6. The Alpha Capricornid meteors are known for their bright and colorful trails that create a stunning spectacle as they streak across the night sky.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

7. These shooting stars are actually debris from the Comet 169P/NEAT, which was discovered in 2002 and is responsible for the annual Alpha Capricornid shower.

[{ "selector": ".neeqg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-334px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".cgbzi-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "opacity": 0 }, { "offset": 1, "opacity": "1" }] }, { "selector": ".ozugp-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [{ "offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-9.181818181818183px)", "opacity": "1" }, { "offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1" }] }]

8. The best way to view this meteor shower is to find a dark location away from city lights and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for about 20 minutes.
