Today, we are looking up—way up—at some truly mind-blowing happenings in our skies. 

August 12 is shaping up to be one of the most incredible days for stargazing in modern history, featuring a rare cosmic triple play. Plus, we have some fascinating detective work from the Moon, where scientists just caught a spacecraft impact red-handed. In this episode, Brent is joined by our favourite resident astronomer, the brilliant David Reneke, to help us make sense of these celestial wonders. 

• The Rare Cosmic Triple Play: Unpacking the staggering 24-hour window featuring a six-planet alignment, a total solar eclipse, and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.

• The Planetary Parade: How Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune line up across the pre-dawn sky.

• Catching a Lunar Impact: How clever Spanish astronomers used an "occulting device" like telescope sunglasses to capture a massive 400-ton plume of dust from a spacecraft crash.

• South Korea's Danuri Orbital Proof: Looking at the fresh, black impact scar left on grey moon rocks as captured by a passing spacecraft.

If you want a front-row seat to the universe's most jaw-dropping spectacles, this is an episode you cannot miss.
