## Caption

Spend your summer nights under the stars! Here’s what to look out for:
 
- Aug. 11: The Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak
- Aug. 19: Keep an eye out for the full moon
- Aug. 20: The Moon chases Saturn across the sky! The pair rise in the east shortly after dark, and trek toward the west together until dawn. 
- Aug. 27: The crescent moon joins Mars and Jupiter in the morning. Look for them to the east in the hour or so before sunrise.
- All month long: Observe the Lagoon Nebula with binoculars in the first few hours after dark
