00:00The first full moon of astronomical summer this year is the Thunder Moon. It will rise on the
00:10night of July 10th and will be visible across most of the world. Frequent thunderstorms barrel
00:15across North America at this time of the year, earning the nickname the Thunder Moon. During
00:20the summer season in the northern hemisphere, Earth's night side is facing the galactic center
00:24of the Milky Way. If you wish to see our majestic home galaxy in all its splendor, head to a dark
00:31area away from city lights. On July 24th, the moon will be at its new moon phase, making this night
00:38the perfect time to stargaze for the Milky Way. The month finally wraps up with not one but two
00:44meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquarids and the Alpha Capricornids. These two meteor showers
00:51will combine to produce 20 to 30 meteors per hour on the night of July 29th and 30th. What a way to
00:57wrap up the month watching shooting stars on a cool summer night. Reporting for AccuWeather, I'm Jeff Cornish.
