The only evening planet this month is the ringed planet Saturn. You can find Saturn rising in the east an hour or so after sunset.

Mornings offer plenty of planet watching this month. In the wee hours of Monday morning take a look towards the eastern skyline.

If you are looking for a piece of autumn in the evening sky stay up late and go outside.

The bright waxing gibbous moon will cross over the bright star Antares on Thursday, August 24 at 10 p.m.

The long awaited meteor shower of the year is this weekend.
