This is a shooting star from the Perseid meteor shower, captured in the early hours of August 13. I was able to see more than 100 shooting stars in one night. Tonight, August 13 (Thursday), you can also catch shooting stars from the Perseid meteor shower. Please relax and enjoy the view, as if you're gazing at shooting stars in Noto.

METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT! ☄ Look up, one of the best meteor showers of the year peaks from Midnight to Dawn and the timing is perfect: the Perseids are peaking under a New Moon, meaning virtually no moonlight will wash out the show. Roughly 50–100 meteors per hour are possible under ideal conditions, although a more realistic count is a few dozen per hour for most depending on darkness, clouds and light pollution. You may even notice meteors flashing different colors as their material and the surrounding atmosphere glow during entry—and the Perseids are especially famous for bright, colorful fireballs and long-lasting trails. No telescope is needed—just a dark sky, some patience and your own eyes. Enjoy! https://x.com/mattdevittwx/status/2087663510708761079

Posted by @thedaily_mystic on Instagram August isn’t simply another eclipse season — it marks the beginning of a new chapter. In August, the faster-moving planets activate that larger basket pattern in profound ways. Chiron stations retrograde, Venus returns to the sign she rules, Mercury changes signs twice & two eclipses arrive two weeks apart. A Total Solar Eclipse in Leo opens the month to fresh beginnings, while a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces closes August with a period of reflection, release & completion. Between them, we’re invited to notice what is emerging, what is ending & what is asking for our wholehearted attention. August 3 • Chiron Stations Retrograde Healing becomes more reflective. This retrograde begins a months-long invitation to revisit old wounds with greater wisdom, compassion, and perspective. August 6 • Venus Enters Libra Venus returns to one of her home signs, emphasizing harmony, beauty, relationships, diplomacy, and finding greater balance in the way we connect with others. August 7 • Leo Sun Trine Saturn Retrograde In Aries Confidence is strengthened through patience and commitment. Creative vision finds lasting support when paired with discipline and steady effort. August 9 • Mercury Enters Leo Communication becomes warmer, bolder, and more expressive. Ideas are shared with confidence, creativity, and heart. August 11 • Mars Enters Cancer Energy turns toward home, family, emotional security, and protecting what matters most. Actions become more instinctive and deeply personal. August 12 • New Moon In Leo • Total Solar Eclipse One of the month’s most significant events. Solar eclipses mark powerful new beginnings, and this Leo eclipse encourages fresh chapters involving creativity, leadership, courage, authenticity, and the expression of your unique gifts. August 15 • Mercury Conjunct Jupiter Perspective expands. Optimism, learning, teaching, writing, conversations, and big-picture thinking receive a welcome boost. August 23 • Sun Enters Virgo Virgo Season begins, shifting our attention toward health, organization, service, craftsmanship, and the meaningful improvements made one step at a time. August 25 • Mercury Enters Virgo Mercury enters the sign it rules, supporting clear thinking, practical planning, careful analysis, and thoughtful communication. August 27 • Mercury-Sun Cazimi A moment of exceptional clarity. Fresh insights, important realizations, and renewed mental focus emerge as Mercury is purified in the heart of the Sun. August 28 • Full Moon In Pisces • Lunar Eclipse The month concludes with a deeply emotional Lunar Eclipse. Where the Solar Eclipse opened a new chapter, this eclipse illuminates what has reached completion, inviting release, healing, forgiveness, and trust in the unfolding process. https://www.instagram.com/p/DbdfjduApTo/

The universe follows a delicate cosmic balance… what happens when that balance breaks? 👀 https://www.instagram.com/p/Db7w7eiAOiQ/

Posted by @the.space.light on Instagram 🌞 Solar and Lunar Eclipse 🌓 👉 Solar Eclipse ☀️ When the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth. • Types: 🌟 Total – The entire Sun disappears ▪️ Partial – A portion is covered 🚀 Annular – Ring of Fire. 👉 Lunar Eclipse 🌕 When the Earth's shadow falls upon the Moon. • Types: ☀️ Total – Red “Blood Moon” 🤩 Partial – Partial shadow 🌟 Penumbral – Slightly dimmed. ✨ Simple Trick: Solar = Moon in the middle Lunar = Earth in the middle Note: Not to scale! Space is much bigger and the shadows are much longer, but this visual makes the concept easy to understand. #solareclipse #lunareclipse #spacefacts #astronomy #viralreels https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX7VlMEzDOY/
