Let’s have a look at whats up for August, 2018 in the sky?
This month’s prime attraction would be the Perseids Meteor Shower. The Shower will reach its peak at midnight on 12th August. Best observations can be made on the days of and around the peak. Another factor making it beautiful is that the day of peak shower would be a moonless one. The radiant of this shower is the constellation Perseus. At last this month will be followed by the parade of planets- Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.
Hope you have a great month ahead. Clear Skies!
