Celestial Events 
by Thomas D. Nicholson 
The Moon The early crescent moon 
shows up about the 2nd, and provides 
several interesting evenings as it moves 
toward Jupiter and Saturn on the 3rd 
and toward Spica on the 4th. It will be 
back in the same part of the sky from 
August 30 through September 1, when 
Venus is much closer to Jupiter. The 
late crescent moon passes below Mars 
in the morning sky of August 26. 
Phases in August are: first-quarter on 
the 7th, full on the 1 5th, last-quarter on 
the 22nd, new moon on the 29th; in 
September, first-quarter is on the 6th 
and full moon on the 1 3th. Apogee (far- 
thest from the earth) is on August 8 and 
September 5; perigee (nearest the earth) 
is on August 21 and September 16. 
Stars and Planets There will be seven 
planets in the evening sky: Mercury 
Jupiter , Saturn, and Venus are 
prominent features of the evening sky 
all month in the constellation Virgo, 
midway between its brightest star, 
Spica, and Regulus, in Leo. In early 
August, Jupiter (the brighter) and 
Saturn are close, Venus is below to 
their right, setting earlier. By the end 
of A ugust, all three are in the positions 
shown, half an hour past sunset, 
joined by the early crescent moon. 
(after the 10th), Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, 
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. In the 
morning sky, there will be two: Mercu- 
ry (until the 10th) and Mars. The sun 
moves from the constellation Cancer to 
Leo on the 10th; Mercury enters Leo in 
early August and Virgo late in the 
month; Venus moves out of Leo into 
Virgo on the 12th; Mars spends most of 
the month in Gemini but moves into 
Cancer on the 20th; Jupiter, Saturn, 
and Pluto are in Virgo; Uranus is in Li- 
bra; and Neptune is in Ophiuchus. 
The best sky show this month is in 
the west just after sundown, where Ju- 
piter, Saturn, and Venus are gathering 
just west (to the right) of Spica in Virgo. 
Watch from about half an hour after 
sunset until dark. Venus appears first — 
very low but very bright — followed by 
Jupiter, then Saturn and Spica. Early in 
the month Jupiter is close below Sat- 
urn, Spica is to their left, and Venus is 
about the same distance to their right 
and below them. During the month Ju- 
piter separates slowly from Saturn, Ve- 
nus moves rapidly toward them, and all 
three planets move toward Spica. By 
the end of August, Venus, Jupiter, and 
Saturn are lined up horizontally in the 
west and Venus has moved between Ju- 
piter and Spica. The show will be espe- 
cially interesting on August 2, 3, and 4, 
and again on August 30 and 31 and 
September 1, when the slim crescent 
moon is in the western sky after sun- 
down.
