What’s Up for August 2022? Grab your binoculars for planet viewing, the outlook for the Perseids, and flying with Cygnus the swan.The daily parade of four naked-eye planets in the mornings comes to an end this month. But there are still lots of great highlights, especially if you have access to binoculars.
Moving on to the morning of the 15th, you’ll find the Moon only a finger’s width from Jupiter. Like Mars and Uranus, they’ll make a great pairing through binoculars, and you’ll also likely catch a glimpse of Jupiter’s four largest moons. Moving to the evening sky, Saturn is transitioning from a late night and early morning object to an all-night sight. It’s rising as night falls in August. Look low in the east around 9 p.m. to find it as a steady, yellowish point of light. You’ll find that the Ringed Planet rises a bit earlier each night over the course of the month.
