August is a great month for gazing upward to see some amazing sights in the sky above us.  

Besides the events above, there is/was also...

          Southern delta Aquariid meteor shower  active til August 12

          alpha Capricornids  meteor shower  active until August 12 

          eta Eridanids  meteor shower  active early August 

          Saturn & Neptune conjunction (appear close together)

Of note: Comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered in early July (only the 3rd comet not from our solar system) continues it's one-time passage through.

August activity is slowing down, but look what September has in store for our Aussie and Kiwi pals...

 

So grab your telescope or binoculars and head out to a dark spot to take a look upward.  Too much light pollution where you are?  The #Nipclub rooftop observatory will be open.  We'll be serving drinks and noms as usual, and the DJ's will be doing their thing.  Sekurity will make sure everyone gets a turn at the big telescope.

Too light to see the sky at home?  

Join us at the rooftop observatory!
