SUMMARY: This week, two meteor showers—the Southern Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids—will peak simultaneously, offering an exciting opportunity to see up to 25 meteors per hour. The Delta Aquariids will peak early on July 30, while the Alpha Capricornids are expected to produce about five meteors per hour. Clear skies in Mississippi will provide ideal viewing conditions, especially away from city lights and during the moon’s waning phase. NASA recommends midnight to dawn as the best times for viewing. The next major meteor shower will be the Perseids, peaking in mid-August.

SUMMARY: Mississippi casinos experienced a revenue decline in the third quarter of 2024, contrasting with the overall growth of the U.S. gaming industry, which reported an 8.1% increase. Mississippi’s gaming revenue fell by 3.5% to $605.8 million, following a 2.3% decrease in the second quarter. This marks two consecutive quarters of downturns after a strong start to the year. Despite legal sports betting in the state, revenue could improve with the legalization of mobile sports betting, which was proposed but failed to pass this year.
