The moonless sky is diminished by nearly an hour each day. So, um, it's going to be tougher and tougher to see some of this pursuit, even though we do have a waning hike to this moon. So, not as much moonlight, but it's still washing it up, talking 88 percent down to about 80 and 69 percent the following morning. So we got the last quarter moon on the 15th at about 58 percent coverage. So, still bright. The pushes are associated with Comet 109P's with tunnel, which last reached per alien in 1992 and returns again in a century. Excerpt is from Astronomy magazine August 25, page 29, without the ad libs. The push is one of the best meteors to see during the year. So if you can get out and just try to see some of them for sure. You might even see some in the evening as well. Take a stroll under clear skies if you've got them and just look up or throw a blanket in the backyard and look. You don't need any special equipment to spot the pursuits. But definitely try to at least put your back towards the full moon or any other bright lights up there and let your eyes get accustomed to the night darkness. Turn off all those back porch lights, things like that. So, get out there and see what you can see. I'd love to hear some observations as well. We do have Comet C 2024E1 Werschel's. It is passing through the constellation of Hercules, this one shining around 12th magnitude. So a 10-inch scope or greater and dark skies will be needed to view it. However, estimates on its brightness over the next several months may get up to about 4th magnitude by January. It will be a visible comet by then, so we'll look forward to seeing what that comet does for sure. And that's it for the Local Astronomical News.

I also publish a monthly astronomy news, excuse me, I already did that. I also volunteer with a youth group called the International Association for Astronomical Studies, a youth group that meets out of Strasburg, Colorado on Friday evenings from 6 until 8 pm, always looking for new members, freshmen through senior high school, students interested in astronomy, amateur radio, high power, rocketry, remote control aircraft, flying full scale aircraft, construction, archaea astronomy, radio astronomy and building launch communications. More than welcome to visit our website at www.iaas.org for more information or visit us on Facebook under the same name, the International Association for Astronomical Studies. Also, a reminder that the Colorado Astronomy Net also has a Facebook page, so if you have Facebook, be sure to hop on there and like us both."}]}
