and our celestial events…
• August 3: Full Moon [Sturgeon Moon, Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon]
•August 11, 12: Perseids Meteor Shower. 60 meteors per hour at its peak! produced by comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids are famous for producing a large number of bright meteors. The shower runs annually from July 17 to August 24. It peaks this year on the night of the 11th and morning of the 12th. The second quarter moon will block out some of the fainter meteors this year, but the Perseids are so bright and numerous that it should still be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Perseus, but can appear anywhere in the sky.
• August 13: Venus at Greatest Western Elongation. Venus reaches greatest western elongation of 45.8 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Venus since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the bright planet in the eastern sky before sunrise.
• August 19: New Moon. The Moon will located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 02:42 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.

Thank you for the reblog! 🙏
A very Happy August dear Marina… Goodness already the 5th…. I must have blinked and missed the last five days…. Beautiful painting my friend…
A wonderful full moon also the other night here, clouds, swiftly blowing past it, eerily making it look as if it was moving across the sky…
A warm windy day today….
Sending much love dear friend from my heart to yours .. 💖🙏💖🌈😘
“Blinked”… exactly how I feel time flies! Thank you, my dear Sue.
Warm windy here too but after a few really hot days, wind goes unnoticed! 🙄🥵

Ohhhh….. I can’t say it’s much nicer here eventhough it’s cooled down temp feels as high because humidity has kicked in! 🙄🥵🤯
This compelled me to dredge up an underwater photo from several years ago… colors not nearly as nice as yours! https://mclark.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/underwater-flight/ 😉
It’s beautiful! Wonderful flight! 😉
I couldn’t tell if the first image is a painting or a photograph. “As Above So Below No19” impresses with its simplicity.
Two days ago I thought to myself: “Welcome to an august month.”
Thank you, my friend. I also saw it as a painting and was mesmerized by those beautiful patterns.
Happy August!
I love your August colours. Wishing you a very happy month, dear Marina. 😍
