Celestial Triple Play
Wednesday, August 12, 2026 features a triple play of celestial events. Depending on where you are located, the morning has a 6‑planet alignment; Day/Evening brings a total solar eclipse; Night is the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.
Paradelle gets all three sky events, but each one looks different here.
A rare total solar eclipse sweeps across Greenland, Iceland, northern Spain, and part of Portugal, with a partial eclipse visible across much of Europe, North America, and North Africa. Observers in the path of totality will see the Sun’s corona revealed for up to ~2 minutes.
I will see will see a partial eclipse (not totality) starting at 1:05 PM EDT with the maximum at ~1:53–1:54 with about 10% of the Sun covered, ending at 2:39 PM. Anyone looking up needs ISO‑certified eclipse glasses, because even 10% coverage is still dangerously bright.
There are excellent conditions this year for viewing the peak of the Perseid meteor shower thanks to the dark New Moon. My best views will be 10 PM–Midnight when it is already dark and the Moon has set. But from midnight to dawn will be the highest meteor rates (up to 50–100/hr in dark skies). Where to look: Anywhere dark; meteors radiate from Perseus (NE) but appear across the whole sky, so find a dark place with a wide sky view. Ideally, let your eyes adjust for about 30 minutes to catch the highest frequency of meteors.
About 90 minutes before sunrise, six-planet alignment of Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
For me, the best viewing window is similar to NYC. The best time is ~5:18–5:34 AM EDT when Mercury reaches ~5° altitude and the sky is still dark enough. Look to the low eastern horizon, sweeping upward toward the southwest. You need a clear view of the horizon.
What you’ll actually see? Easily with the naked‑eye are Mars and Saturn. You might see Mercury (low), and Jupiter (very low). You will need binoculars or a telescope to see Uranus and Neptune A clear horizon is essential.

July 2026
July arrives, as usual, with one foot in the long grass and the other in a thundercloud.
This is the month of high summer, of heavy roses, restless skies, ripening fruit and strange light lingering late over the fields. It is a month that feels deceptively ordinary until you look at it sideways. Then the old signs begin to appear.
The swifts and swallows are screaming above the rooftops, the bees are drunk on clover, the hedgerows are thickening into green walls and the first whisper of harvest is waiting just behind the heat shimmer.
In the old almanacs, July was never just a month of sunshine. July was a month of watching. Watch the sky. Watch the crops. Watch the animals…
Watch the weather on St Swithin’s Day, because tradition says that if rain falls on 15 July, it will fall for forty days after. The story is tied to St Swithin of Winchester, whose bones were moved in 971, bringing, according to legend, a long and mournful storm. Whether saintly displeasure or simple English weather, the warning remains: never trust July just because it smiles.
The moon, too, keeps her own calendar. After the late June full moon, July wanes into darkness, with the new moon falling on 14 July, the first quarter on 21 July, and the full Buck Moon rising on 29 July.
In folklore, the Buck Moon belongs to antlers, growth, heat and wild strength – a fitting lantern for a month when the natural world seems almost too alive.
By mid-month, the Dog Days begin to settle over the land. Older English reckoning placed them from early July into August, when Sirius, the Dog Star, was associated with heat, fever, tempers, storms and madness.
These were the days when milk soured quickly, dogs were watched carefully, and people blamed the sky for all manner of human foolishness.
And then, just as the month begins to tip towards August, the heavens start throwing sparks. The Southern Delta Aquariids run from 12 July to 23 August, peaking around 30 July, while the Perseids begin stirring from 17 July onwards.
July, then, ends not quietly, but with meteors – small fragments of ancient debris burning bright above fields, rooftops and sleeping towns.
For me, languishing in the heat of Mysterious Towers, surrounded by rapidly growing felines and with nary a breeze to shift the accumulated kitten hair on the keyboard of my laptop, July feels like a waiting month.
We stand between the bright folklore of midsummer and the darker pull of late summer – harvest ghosts, haunted roads, old crimes, strange beasts in the fields, and the first faint shadow of autumn hiding beneath the green.
So this month, we will be looking backwards and sideways into old legends, unsolved mysteries and the strange little stories that cling to places long after the official histories have moved on.
Because July may be golden. But gold, as every old tale reminds us, is rarely innocent.
Stay Curious 🙂

Two #MeteorShowers will peak simultaneously tonight: How and when to watch
by Jeremy Tanner - 07/29/25 3:24 PM ET
(NEXSTAR) – "July is once again exiting in style, treating stargazers to a meteor shower double-feature this week.
"The #SouthernDeltaAquariid and the #AlphaCapricornid meteor showers will peak at the same time, in the early morning hours Wednesday.
"While perhaps not as stunning as the Perseids, which light up the sky in mid-August, often leaving long, sometimes-colorful 'wakes,' conditions will be good this week. The moon is waxing and only about a quarter full, so the meteors should appear bright, especially for stargazers outside of urban areas with lots of light pollution.
"With each shower expected to produce up to a dozen visible meteors per hour under dark skies, the doubleheader means the total number of meteors 'do add up, said Thaddeus LaCoursiere, planetarium program coordinator at the Bell Museum in St. Paul, Minnesota.
" 'Look for flashes of light in the night sky,' he said, adding that both are 'very nice classic meteor showers.'
"The Alpha Capricornids — produced by slower-moving meteors — may have tails that linger slightly longer in the sky, said Nick Moskovitz of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona."
Note: According to Accuweather, "The best viewing window is between midnight and 3 a.m., local time, although a few stray meteors may streak across the sky earlier or later in the night."

One of 2024’s Last #MeteorShowers Is About to Reach Its Peak
The astronomical event, which overlaps with the Winter #Solstice, is often overlooked because of the winter chill.
#Meteors from the #Ursids appear near the Little Dipper, which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor. Only skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere will have a chance of seeing this shower. Moon will be just over half full, making streaks in sky even more challenging to spot.
