Great year to look to the sky!
QUOTE Thursday, August 12th, is such a night. The show begins at sundown when Venus, Saturn, Mars and the crescent Moon pop out of the western twilight in tight conjunction. All four heavenly objects will fit within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter, beaming together through the dusky colors of sunset. No telescope is required to enjoy this naked-eye event Here is a link to the full article on "Planets Align for the Perseid Meteor shower" Dont miss out, the show is already amazing! I have been able to view at least 10 an hour so far, and the show has yet to really begin.
