August 13 Wondrous Moon and Venus by:

Tonight … Wondrous moon and Venus On Monday evening, a great celestial drama begins as the moon sweeps by Venus. There are 4 bright planets in the evening sky now, and the moon will pass each one in turn. Favorite Perseid meteor shower photos 2018 has been an exceptional year for the Perseids. Thanks, everyone, for submitting your photos! Here are a few of the editors' favs. Was the outer solar system shaped by a stellar fly-by? Computer modeling suggests that - billions of years ago, when our solar system was young - a star swept near, stealing some of our sun's material and creating the odd orbits of Kuiper Belt objects.
