Northern Hemisphere - Southeast in August - For thousands of years, Mankind has looked up into the night skies and beheld the starry-heavens. Two great lights were created, the greater light to govern the day and as pictured here, the lesser light of the moon to govern the night. Also appearing Southeast in August from left to right are a portion of the constellation Pisces, a portion of Aquarius, Capricornus and Sagittarius.
