"We have a bit more time to enjoy summer and since this is the best time that the sky is so clear, I want to dedicate this week’s art challenge with astronomical events theme. It's high time that we observe our beautiful sky" Scaredy Cat announced to everyone at the community center.
"I'm gonna stick some astronomical events that is going to happen in August for reference if anyone needs it" he added.
"I'm gonna join Bob and JJ at the lounge for now and I wish everyone best of luck in this week’s art challenge" Scaredy Cat said and walked towards the lounge.

Astronomical Events in August
Sturgeon Moon: August’s Full Moon is known as the Sturgeon Moon, named after a huge freshwater fish, which can be found in substantial numbers in August. Because August is harvesting season in the Northern Hemisphere, August’s Full Moon is also called Grain Moon, Fruit Moon, and Barley Moon. In 2025, the Sturgeon Moon is at 08:55 UTC on August 9.

Perseid Meteors: The Perseid meteor shower is known to be one of the most active and brightest meteor showers of the year. They are usually active between July 17 and August 24. They tend to be most visible between August 11 and August 13.

Mercury at Greatest Elongation West: On August 19, Mercury appears at its farthest from the Sun in the morning sky. It’s an excellent opportunity to observe the planet, as it’s possible to see with the naked eye shortly before sunrise. However, it is important to exercise caution—never attempt to observe Mercury while any part of the Sun is above the horizon, as this can cause serious eye damage. Find Mercury on our Night Sky Map.

Black Moon: Most of the world experiences a seasonal Black Moon on August 23. This is the third New Moon in a season that happens to have four New Moons. This is a rare occurrence that happens around every 33 months.

As Scaredy Cat said, this week is all about what happens in the sky and space. Create your best interpretation of any astronomical events and enjoy!
