This month, you’ll be able to observe several planets, the Perseid meteor shower, the Alpine Valley of the Moon, and we’ll take a look at some of the best globular clusters in Sagittarius. We’ll also keep you updated on some space missions and much more!

I apologize in advance for the nasal sound in my voice, my allergies were bothering me.
