In the Sky: August 2026
Please click the link above to see David Voigts' article about what will be happening in the sky during August. Of special interest are the Perseid meteor shower on August 12-13 and the eclipse of the Moon on August 27. Both can be seen by everyone in the U.S., although in the far northwest, the eclipse will start before the Moon rises.
"I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky."

Climate Change Responsibility
David Voigts' article entitled "Letter: Don't Vote for Candidates Who Won't Fight Climate Change" is available via this link. David's article is a reminder to all of us about our responsibility to the environment and our planet especially when make election year choices.
