   EVENTS THIS MONTH (10):

 
   
Last Quarter - August 5 @ 22:21
A waning half-Moon is near the meridian (halfway across the sky) as the Sun rises.
   
Bombing of Hiroshima - August 6 @ 01:00
On this day in 1945, the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy," killed up to an estimated 125,000 people.
   
Canada's Hundred Days - August 8 @ 01:00
In the final months of World War I, the period known as Canada's Hundred Days began. Innovations in tactics, and the combined and coordinated use of all available military resources, Allied troops, of which the Canadians were a significant part, drove the Germans out of France and through Belgium, ending the war. Canadian General Currie, and Australian General Monash, were especially prominent during this period.
   
Bombing of Nagasaki - August 9 @ 01:00
On this day in 1945, the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Nagasaki. The plutonium-based bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man," fell off-target but still managed to kill up to 80,000 people. It precipitated the end of World War II.
   
New Moon - August 12 @ 13:36
The Moon is nearest the Sun in the sky and cannot be seen from the ground.

Dieppe Raid - August 19 @ 01:00
On this day in 1942, Operation Jubilee was launched against the French port town of Dieppe. Miscues and bungled communications led to the decimation of the mostly Canadian invasion force, with over 3,300 casualties. In September 1944, Canadian soldiers returned in force, to liberate Dieppe.
