Tonight's Sky: August 2024 (Northern Hemisphere)
In August, a flock of star-studded figures soars overhead. Look for the Vega and Lyra constellations that point to Epsilon Lyrae and the Ring Nebula. You can also spot three bright summer stars: Vega, Deneb, and Altair. They form the Summer Triangle. Keep watching for space-based views of these and other stars and nebulas.
“Tonight’s Sky” is a monthly video of constellations you can observe in the night sky. The series is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, in partnership with NASA’s Universe of Learning: Caltech/IPAC, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and Sonoma State University.
