If you're up before the sun this week, check in on the Eastern sky before dawn to see Venus and Jupiter, they will be in conjunction on Tuesday before dawn, they are joined this week with the constellations Orion and Taurus. Use the three stars in Orion's belt to draw an imaginary line towards the horizon to find the bright star Sirius.
If you're going to stargaze just after sunset this week check out the Western sky for the bright star Arcturus.
There's a meteor shower (Perseid) this week peaking on Monday night going into Tuesday, the Moon is pretty bight and won't set until after dawn, so maybe you'll see a few or maybe not? I hate to try to predict really.
