See the moon meet Mars, follow the Arc to Arcturus and keep your eyes peeled for meteors and more this week

Man looks down on the night view of the city at the top of the mountain .

From the broad peak of the annual Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower and views of the crescent moon to the rise of Venus and the Milky Way, there is much to see this week (July 29 to August 4) using just your naked eye. 

A good telescope or pair of binoculars will help you see some of the night sky's fainter objects, but the unaided eye is enough to learn its stars and constellations, watch the moon, experience meteor showers and see satellites whizz across the night sky.
