Amateur astronomers will be able to admire this summer, a rare phenomena in the starry sky.

If you follow a chronological order, it should start with a simultaneous full moon and solstice. This phenomenon will occur on the night of 21 June. Last time the two astronomical events coincided, 49 years ago. The sun reaches the highest point in the Northern hemisphere and the lowest in the South. And the Moon 12 hours before reaches full phase and will rise to 99%.

In late July and early August the sky will decorate the meteor showers and Delta Aquairds. The two streams will “pour” at one point in the sky almost simultaneously, doubling the effect. The Southern Delta Aquarids peak will be released on 28 and 29 July, and the North a little later, and together with the Perseids. The Perseids is one of the brightest meteor showers of the entire year. They are very bright and can be observed even in large cities.

On August 27, olanets Jupiter and Venus in the western part of the sky will be as close as possible to each other. The convergence of the planets is also a pretty interesting phenomenon.

Finally, the first day of fall, the Moon within three hours will pass before the Sun. The Eclipse will leave only a small rim of the Sun visible. It is called the “ring of fire”.
