Nasa Stellar August sights

See Saturn at dusk and dawn, the Perseid
meteors return, and a "super blue moon." This month you'll see one of the best-known meteor showers, the Perseids. Saturn will reach opposition, which is when the planet will be the biggest and brightest for the year. August will also begin and end with a full moon. The second full moon in a month is known as a "blue moon." But that's not it, the blue moon will also be a supermoon as it will be at its
closest point to Earth and appear about 7%
larger than an average full moon.
