A monthly astronomy program discussing what most everyone can see in the night sky for August 2011 (N. Hemisphere).  Focus is largely on how to find Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the night sky at various times during August 2011.  Also discussed: How to view the Perseids meteor shower, the proximity of Saturn and Porrima (or Gamma Virginis), and several conjunctions of the Moon with several planets. Some times and distances are specific to the Chicago area, but most phenomena can still be seen within the contiguous United States with appropriate adjustments for time zone and latitude.
