Enjoy them on these August evenings. More fav Perseid meteor shower photos Wonderful photos are still coming in. Thanks to all who submitted! 61 Cygni is the flying star    It isn't one of the brightest stars, but it moves exceptionally rapidly against the background of more distant stars. Its motion reveals its nearness to Earth.

Moon, Venus, Jupiter The moon is beginning to make its way past the planets in the evening sky now. It's a wonderful time to identify them, or just enjoy them.
