While looking around for the info about the eclipse, I stumbled across this list at National Geographic- a list of the really cool sky stuff happening this month including the Perseid Meteor Showers on August 12th and multiple chances to see planets Jupiter, Saturn and Venus if your skies are clear.   I’m concerned that with the influx of smoke from the wildfires in British Columbia may block a lot of the sky for the first half of the month, maybe we’ll get a break and things will clear for the big eclipse on the 21st.   Either way, I hope Canada gets some relief from the fires soon.
