This month’s two morning planets, Venus and Saturn, are easier to enjoy. Venus is spectacularly brilliant, and rises over 3 hours before sunrise. It absolutely dominates the eastern sky until sunrise. Careful observers should try to follow it right up and even after sunrise. In a small telescope its appearance gradually changes from a crescent phase in early August to a quarter phase at midmonth, a very interesting transformation. Saturn rises in the east, over an hour before sunrise in early August, increasing to over 3 hours by late August. Saturn still appears in the constellation Gemini, as it has for the past year; it is just to the right of the twin stars Castor and Pollux. At any chance you have for morning observing, be sure to note that brilliant Venus and Saturn appear to be approaching each other, until by the last day of the month they are very close. Don’t miss the view in the eastern sky an hour before sunrise on August 31
