A large, bright open cluster in Scorpius, (M6, M7), is visible to the naked eye. The best view for these clusters is binoculars.
A reminder
for all!
The Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of August 12 and 13. This is usually one of the best meteor showers of the year, producing a dependable display with bright meteors. This year the moon will be new. It will not be visible to drown out the brighter meteors in its glare.
Remember no special astronomical gear is needed to look for meteors. Look to the northeast sky. Try to keep any glare out of your line of sight. Dark skies will show more than light polluted areas. Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. Generally the numbers of meteors increases after midnight when the earth is turned into the incoming path of the meteors.
Hey, bet you all did not know that all of this was in our big galaxy.
Enjoy the view!
