A monthly guide to our dark skies by Geoff Burt
Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.
Let Shine Radio open up the wonder of Petersfield’s night skies for magical star-gazing from your doorstep, in Sky Watch.
August
Our nearest neighbour in space has something special in store this August; there will be two full moons this month – and not only that but both will be Super Moons and one will be a Super Blue Moon!
Look out for the summer triangle, a dolphin, the morning star and meteor showers too.
Find out more in this month’s Sky Watch.
