Alright, this is KI0 AR Net Control for Colorado Astronomy Net. I'm going to go ahead and get into the local astronomical news for this tail end of August. May have a few things for, to look forward to in September as well, but right now we'll finish up with August. We had to start off as usual with the phases of the Moon. We had a new Moon back on the 23rd. We have got a first quarter Moon coming up on the 30th. Actually, this is the second first quarter Moon of the month. The first quarter Moon was back on the first. Alright, let's see, was at perigee, its closest approach to the Earth this month. Back on the 14th, it was 229,465 miles from Earth. The Moon will be at perigee, it's, excuse me, it will be at apogee, its farthest point away from the Earth this month on the 29th. It will be 251,374 miles from Earth. Planetary highlights for August. The longer nights of August beckon with several treats this month. Saturn and Neptune undergo their second conjunction of the year appearing together in a low power telescope. I believe telescopic observers also get two shadow transits of Titan across Saturn. Early risers enjoy a spectacular conjunction of two brightest planets in the sky, Venus and Jupiter back on the 12th. We missed some of those conjunctions, but those planets are still very visible in the morning sky. The same day, let's see, the Perseid's meteor shower also peaked, so if anybody was out there and had got to see some of the Perseids this year, I'd love to hear those observational reports.
