Why now

July 2026 brings an unusual astronomical event as two meteor showers reach their peak simultaneously. According to the American Meteor Society, meteor activity will surge during July 25-31, 2026, with the potential for brilliant fireballs visible from Earth. National Geographic reports that this double meteor shower represents an uncommon occurrence, as such overlapping peaks are not routine. CNN's coverage highlights the optimal viewing window during this specific week, making it a notable event for skywatchers and astronomy enthusiasts preparing their observation plans.

What to watch

Peak viewing occurs July 25-31, 2026, when both meteor showers reach maximum activity. Observers should watch for bright fireballs, which can rival Venus in brightness. The American Meteor Society estimates heightened activity during these seven days. Best viewing typically occurs after midnight in dark locations away from light pollution. Bring binoculars or use naked-eye observation for optimal results during this rare double-shower phenomenon.

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
