    2 striking astrological events you’ll be able to see in the UAE this week

    Who doesn’t love striking celestial events?
    For those who love gazing into the night sky, two special events will be taking place this week.
    So if you’re looking for something exciting to plan ahead of time, keep a watchful eye on these striking events.
    The Sturgeon moon
    The Sturgeon Moon will be the last super moon of the year and is set to appear on August 12, 2022. A supermoon is a rare occurrence, only happening three to four times a year. It refers to a time when the moon is within 90 per cent of perigee, which is its closest approach to Earth. The Sturgeon Moon’s name is given after North America’s largest fish, the sturgeon which lives in its lakes and rivers. The Sturgeon Moon will reappear next year between August 1 and August 31, 2023.
    This surreal event may outshine another event set to take place after. It’s all set to make a comeback between August 1 and August 31, 2023.

    Perseids Meteor
    There’s also another astrological event at the same time as the supermoon – the perseids meteor. As one of the most popular meteor showers of the year, this striking event is caused by the Earth passing through debris including ice and rock. The phenomena can highlight up between 50-100 meteors an hour, making it a highly-anticipated event to watch out for.
    However, given the appearance of the Sturgeon Moon at the same time, it may outshine the meteor shower.

    If you’re keen to see these phenomenal events, Dubai Astronomy Group is hosting an event on August 12 from 9pm to 2am at Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah to witness this in person. Tickets are priced at Dhs150 for children under 13 and Dhs200 for adults, with transportation available at an additional cost. For attendees who have any questions pertaining to this phenomenon, the experts present at the venue will answer any queries.
