now - August 10 - SuperMoon and meteor showers

[Starlight]

If you want to see the meteor showers look for them now before the moon gets too bright. The moon will set around midnight. A "super moon" happens when the moon's orbit passes closer to the earth while it is in a full moon stage... making it appear 12% bigger.
