The CentralVaQuakeZone is at it again; a 2.4 quake early Tuesday morning centered a little northeast of the more "normal" spots reminds us, almost a year later, that our new shaky world is still alive. And, after dodging most of the storms of late, the tire house got some much needed rain as July ended and August arrived, 1 1/4 inches worth and cleaner air. More storms are possible today with a less humid day in store for Thursday.
Mars, Saturn and Spica continue their dance in the western sky. Mars will catch up and slide eastward (or seem to) between the other two as the month goes on. Tonight's full moon (11:27pmEDT) will wash out many of the faint stars but the planet dance will still be easy to spot. For early risers Venus and Jupiter are the morning show. August will have a blue moon this moon, at least the new version: two full moons in a month - today and the 31st.
The volcano site will be updated later today; the Virgin Isles are a bit shaky offshore recently and Oklahoma and Utah are still quaking a bit more than normal. Heat dominates the mid-US (shocker) and the Olympics continue across the pond.
Get out and check out your planet (and the space around us) today on Earth.
