This year has been thrilling for night sky enthusiasts, with more events to come before 2024 ends. August will close with a planet parade featuring six planets and a meteor shower. Additionally, the moon will align with Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury on different days in the last week of August. A conjunction, where celestial bodies appear close together, will occur twice this month. If you missed Jupiter with the moon, you can see Mars closer to the moon early on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
