Venus and Mars are no longer visible in the evening sky in August, but we'll have fantastic views of Saturn all night.
By the middle of the month, look for the giant planet low in the eastern sky around 9 p.m., appearing a little bit higher each night as August goes on.
Saturn appears on August 3rd morning, just a few finger widths apart from the nearly full Moon. Prior to dawn, find them in the west.
On the morning of August 9th, when Jupiter is nearby, the Moon then forms a lovely partnership with the Pleiades star cluster.
On the evening of August 24th, the Moon will then get extremely close to the crimson (reddish) star Antares, which is the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius.
This month, Saturn will be in opposition, which means that, as seen from Earth, it will be precisely opposite the Sun.
Planets in opposition are at their largest and brightest for the year, rising just after sunset and remaining visible until dawn.
