If you're reaching for the stars, it helps to know where they are. You can find them using Sky Calendar, courtesy of the Physics Department.

According to the August Sky Calendar, "Seven objects of first magnitude or brighter are visible." Jupiter is the brightest.
In addition to locating the brightest stars, the monthly calendars indicate where to look for astronomical objects and events.
