"Rare Super Blue Moon: A Celestial Spectacle to Watch in August"
TL;DR Summary
In August, skywatchers can look forward to the Perseid Meteor Shower, a Super Blue Moon, and the glittery Milky Way galaxy. The Super Blue Moon occurs when there are two perigee/syzygys in the same month, resulting in a larger and brighter full moon. The Perseid Meteor Shower, caused by debris from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, will peak on August 13th and can be seen without any instruments. Additionally, skywatchers are encouraged to find a dark sky to fully enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
