In the month of Aug is the Planetary Alignment. If you look above the moon you will see 2 bright stars that are Saturn to the west and Jupiter to the east. Using those two you will see Mars, then Venus (brightest of them all) and next is Mercury. Note Stars twinkle and Planets do not.

The Perseid Meteor shower peaks on August 12-13.
