The Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the best showers of the year. The waning crescent moon is only 10% illuminated, making it perfect for siting shooting stars. The peak of the shower is Aug. 12-13, so be sure to go out in the early morning and look northeast. #perseids #perseidmeteorshower2023 #perseidmeteorshower #nightsky #stargazing #learnthesky #meteorshower #perseus #constellations #CapCut
Scorpius the Scorpion constellation is one of the easier star patterns to find in the night sky🌌. It is best seen in the summer months when looking south. Look for the bright red star Antares. Use Scorpius ♏️ to find Libra ♎️ and Sagittarius ♐️ #scorpius #scorpiusconstellation #stargazing #constellations #stars #nightsky #zodiacconstellations #learnthesky
Find Canis Major using Orion’s Belt stars. The belt stars guide towards Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky (and one of the closest stars to us). Can you find these constellations? #canismajor #orion #stargazing #nightsky #orionconstellation #canismajorconstellation #sirius #siriusstar #learnthesky #beltstars

Did you know the Big Dipper is not a true constellation? It is an asterism, or a false constellation, and it is part of a larger pattern called Ursa Major, the Great Bear. You can use the Big Dipper to find the North Star, also called Polaris. #bigdipper #ursamajor #northstar #polaris #constellation #stargazing #nightsky #astronomy #learnthesky
Cygnus the Swan is an easy star pattern to find in the night sky. Part of its pattern makes a giant cross in the sky. This is known as the Northern Cross, a pattern within the larger constellation, and recognizing it helps you to find Cygnus. This constellation is best seen in the summer months (northern hemisphere), but can also be seen in the early evening during autumn. #cygnusconstellation #cygnustheswan #cygnus #nightsky #learnthesky #stargazing #stargazingontiktok #constellations
