The most visible of those planets is Venus, which will be the brightest object in the evening, second only to the moon.

Before the end of month, the second-closest planet to the sun will appear just after sunset.

Aug. 19 will feature the year's first supermoon, which will appear 6.4% larger and 12.8% brighter than the average full moon. The supermoon won’t actually be bigger or brighter. Rather, it will be at its closest point – 226,000 miles – in its orbit around the Earth. “It’s really cool,” Fried said. “They can be really bright, and they have really long trains of dust and gas that linger for a while.”
