Look up and watch the stars! After sunset on Sunday (August 3), the waxed eldest son moon will be near the red starry sky.
Looking 20 degrees above the southern horizon, 69% of the moon's moon's stars were found to be glowing, Antares' bright on the top left of the moon's disc, with red light spots showing bright, red light spots. Remember: The tip of your finger is held in the night sky about 1 degree.
As night falls, Antares appears to be wearing a skirt around the northern edge of the moon. It will eventually slide to the right side of the Earth's satellite in the early hours of August 4th when it is below the southwest horizon.

Antares is a red superstar, 700 times the size of the sun. The star, which orbits about 600 light-years in the Milky Way, has long used up its hydrogen fuel and has transitioned to fuse heavier elements to prevent its gravity from collapsing. According to Earthsky.org, once these reserves are exhausted, the star will end its life in a dramatic supernova explosion, which can be easily seen from Earth.
