Sky this Month : August

August 7, 2021

August is here.

Episode Nine: The Sky This Month : August

This month we show you the Milky way from our vantage point along with the Centaur with a Bow and Arrow and the Ex-Polestar bidding us farewell.

The audio is designed to guide you through the night sky ideally visible around 8.00pm each night in August. You can use this guide between 7.30pm to 8.30pm this month, however we suggest you do this before the 10th of August or after the 24th of August to prevent moonlight from obstructing your view.

So get your earphones out, put on the audio here or through the websites and explore the night sky this month.
