See Mars, Saturn and Moon Align During Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight

Skywatchers in will be able to witness a celestial "summit meeting" this week as the moon, Mars and Saturn converge in the south-southwest evening sky. It's a perfect illustration of what the late Kenneth L. Franklin, former chief astronomer at New York's Hayden Planetarium, called our "dynamic and ever-changing sky." Such an eloquent description will certainly fit the sky this week as darkness falls. For the past few months, Mars and Saturn have been prominent in our evening sky.
