Look up: Kuwait's sky to light up with planets, meteors this August
KUWAIT: If you've ever wanted to get into stargazing, August is the perfect month to start. The Ojairi Scientific Center says the skies over Kuwait will be filled with rare and beautiful celestial events this month — from planet pairings and meteor showers to striking moon phases. Things kick off on August 6, when Saturn and Neptune will appear side by side in the sky. 'The two planets share the same right ascension,' the center explained, with Saturn passing just 1.08 degrees south of Neptune. That means they'll be close together from our point of view — best spotted in the early morning or evening when they reach 21 degrees above the eastern horizon. Next up is the 'Fish Moon' on August 9. This is the name traditionally given to the August full moon, known in English as the Sturgeon Moon — because it used to mark the peak time to catch sturgeon fish in North America's Great Lakes. It's one of the year's most striking full moons. Then, on August 12, two of the brightest planets in the sky, Venus and Jupiter, will shine just a finger's width apart. 'They will appear less than one degree apart in the sky,' the center noted. That same night, the Perseid meteor shower will begin — one of the most anticipated annual meteor shows. The Perseids are known for being especially bright and active, but there's a catch this year: a nearly full, bright moon will be in the sky too. 'It will reduce the number of meteors that can be seen,' the center said. Still, the show is worth looking up for, especially in darker areas away from city lights. On August 19, early risers will have a chance to catch Mercury at its greatest distance from the Sun. This moment, called 'greatest elongation,' makes the tiny planet easier to spot in the morning sky — something that doesn't happen often. Just two days later, on August 21, Mercury will rise near a thin crescent moon. 'It will appear beside a delicate waning moon,' the center said — another pretty sight for anyone up before sunrise. On August 23, we'll see a new moon — the moment when the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. It's invisible to the naked eye, but it also means the nights around that date will be darker — perfect for stargazing or catching the tail end of the Perseid meteors. Finally, on August 26, the moon and Mars will line up in the sky. 'They will pass within 27.2 degrees of each other,' the center said. But this time, you may need binoculars or a high vantage point to see them. 'It will be difficult to observe from Kuwait City unless they rise higher than 14 degrees above the horizon.' All in all, August offers a sky full of action — a free show for anyone curious enough to look up. Whether you're a space nerd or just someone who wants an excuse to go outside at night, it's a good month to keep your eyes on the stars.

Your horoscope for the week ending 10th August is giving pass-ag vibes...
The week ahead requires us to boss up to get past the current roadblocks in our path to success. The action planet Mars glides into Libra on 6 April, adding a tinge of passive-aggressiveness to how we handle conflict. Two days later, Mars opposes Saturn Retrograde in Aries and connects with Uranus in Gemini, urging us to break free from the past and the societal constraints holding us back from living our most authentic lives. Mars shares a tense aspect with Neptune Retrograde in Aries on the 9th, pushing us to rethink our objectives and desires. The Full Moon in Aquarius on 9 August clarifies how we can make our dreams happen, regardless of the obstacles standing in our way. Keep reading below for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign horoscope for this week. Usually, you're assertive, defiant, and confrontational with others. This week, you are trying to find the middle ground before jumping to conclusions and acting on impulse. It may be difficult to calm your temper, but taking a beat before responding is doable and advisable to centre your energy and thoughts. You may feel like everyone's turned their back on you, but they haven't. The friends who are creating issues are proving to be phoney, which is why you should disconnect. You don't want or need scrubs in your peer group — you desire ride-or-dies who will never leave your side. Life is getting a little messy with the hot goss surrounding you. It's unfair that people are telling false tales about you based on speculation, but you're not helping by playing into the drama. Laugh it off and let it go because you know better than contributing to the rumours. You're not one to go with the flow, due to the need to be in control. However, you're learning that you can't always predict or take charge of matters due to unforeseen obstacles. Rather than push matters forward, use your energy to create a different route to your objectives. Although you should blame Mercury retrograde for the drama in the group chat, you're putting your foot in your mouth and giving reasons that are suss to your besties. The best option in dealing with the miscommunications is to apologise and refrain from texting for a bit to avoid arguments. Asserting yourself to receive a higher pay is intimidating, but not for you. Fortunately, you're one step above the curve and can bring innovation to the table that can transcend your career to greatness. Make a note of that when discussing your raise with management. Your plea will be compelling. Don't you look tough flexing your power around town! You'll see it's not a good look to brag about your achievements, talents, and wins to others (even though you should be proud). It'll alienate some of your besties. Be humble and unpretentious to avoid jealousy from occurring with your crew. Believe it or not, you're taking an emotional vacation from the thirsty peeps in your squad. You aren't in the mood for energetic vampires — you're opting for solitude and alone time to maintain your spirits. If that means blocking an ex who's re-emerging to haunt you, so be it! Romantic affairs are on shaky ground, making you question where the situationship is going. Before you do anything to cause irreparable harm to the relationship, have an open and honest chat to ensure you're on the same page as your boo. Realness and directness are vital to secure the future. It's a magical time for you to make your visions happen IRL. You've been in a slump, comparing yourself to others. Currently, you are becoming aware that you're fabulous. No matter what insecurities have been running through your mind, you are drowning out the negativity and focusing on positive vibes. Wearing your heart on your sleeve isn't your style, but you can't keep sentiments down this week. A proper cry or tantrum is an excellent method to release stress and relieve worries. You're not a basket case for being emo; you are only human and need to feel your feels. Your home feels like a money pit because there are a ton of necessary repairs that require your attention at the moment. Instead of obsessing over the amount of cash you are spending, think of it as an investment in making the house of your dreams to justify the prices.

Kuwaiti skies set for a month of stunning astronomical displays
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3: The Al-Ajari Scientific Center has announced that August will bring a series of notable astronomical events visible in Kuwait's skies. Starting on August 6, observers can witness the conjunction of the planets Saturn and Neptune. According to a statement issued by the center on Sunday, Saturn will pass just 1.08 degrees south of Neptune, with both planets sharing the same ascendant. These celestial bodies will be visible either in the morning or evening when they reach an altitude of 21 degrees above the eastern horizon. The center also highlighted the August moon, known as the 'Sturgeon Moon,' which will occur on the ninth day of the month. This name derives from the sturgeon fish's abundance in the Great Lakes during this period. Another significant event will take place on August 12, when the bright planets Venus and Jupiter will appear in conjunction, separated by less than one degree. On the same day, the Perseid meteor shower will begin and continue through August 13. While the Perseids are among the most active and brightest meteor showers of the year, the presence of a bright gibbous moon is expected to reduce the number of meteors visible to the naked eye. Mercury will reach its longest western elongation on August 19, making it the best time to observe the planet as it appears farthest from the sun in the morning sky. On August 21, Mercury will be seen in conjunction with the thin waning crescent moon in the early morning sky. Shortly after, the new moon will occur on August 23, a time when the sun and moon align with Earth positioned on the opposite side of the moon. Towards the end of the month, on August 26, the moon and Mars will approach within 27.2 degrees of each other, with the moon at three days old. The center noted, however, that this conjunction may be difficult to observe in Kuwait City if the pair does not rise higher than 14 degrees above the horizon. These events promise to make August an exciting month for astronomy enthusiasts across the country.
