Tomorrow night, Thursday, August 12, will bring a spectacular show to the skies: A tight conjunction of four bright heavenly bodies (Venus, Saturn, Mars, and a crescent Moon) just after sunset, followed by the peak night of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
Look west after sunset for the planetary alignment — it should remain prominently visible until about 10 pm.
Around midnight, turn to the northeast and watch for the Perseid meteors. Because there will be no interference from the moon this year, the display should be especially dramatic.
