Here is a look at the night skies for this month – courtesy of the Farmer's almanac
August 4 – Moon/Saturn close at 12:18 p.m. EDT.
August 5 – Venus rises at 4:16 a.m. EDT.
August 10 – Full Sturgeon Moon at 2:09 p.m. EDT. The visible moon is fully illuminated by direct sunlight. This will actually be one of the five supermoons that will happen in 2014. A supermoon, simply stated, is when the Moon makes its closest approach to Earth, also called perigee. This particular full supermoon will be extra "super" because it occurs during the closest approach of the Moon to the Earth. (The next supermoon is September 8th). Although the Moon is only technically in this phase for a few seconds, it is considered full for the entire day of the event and appears full for three days. It is called a "Sturgeon" Moon because Native Americans knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and other bodies of water were most readily caught during this full Moon.
August 12 – Mars sets at 11:10 p.m. EDT.
August 13 – Perseid meteor shower 2:00 – 5:00 a.m. EDT.
