Here are the days of the Chol Q’ij mapped onto the Gregorian month of August 2021.

This year, August will be rather an interesting month astronomically Here in Guatemala, the solar zenith passage happens around 13th August, which also happens to be the Perseid meteor shower. The Perseid meteor shower has the possibility to be one of the most impressive meteor showers of the year, and this year is just 3 days after new moon, meaning dark skies and the possibility of a really incredible show. The best time to see it will be between 2-4am on 13th August.

Additionally, we will have Saturn at opposition on 2nd August and Jupiter at opposition on the 19th August, meaning that they will be directly overhead at midnight on those dates, the best time of the year to view and photograph them.
