“Around three-and-a-half years after he sold his Marin County home in a lucrative off-market deal for nearly $6 million and relocated to Sacramento, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has decided to make a return to the Bay Area. The San Francisco native plans to split his time between Sacramento and Marin County, where his four children are reportedly already enrolled in school.”

“Records show Newsom, whose gubernatorial term ends in 2027, and his documentary filmmaker wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom have paid billionaire Hyatt Hotels heir Daniel Pritzker $9.1 million—about $600,000 over asking—through a private LLC for a midcentury modern abode in the affluent unincorporated community of Kentfield, about 20 miles north of San Francisco. First listed in summer 2023 for just under $11.5 million, the place underwent several price chops before landing at its final ask of $8.5 million. . .”

“. . .In addition to his new Marin County home, the possible 2028 presidential candidate also lays claim to a $3.7 million residence in suburban Sacramento’s Fair Oaks neighborhood, near the State Capitol building.”

Jupiter-Venus conjunction: Aug. 11, 12 before daybreak

Two of the brightest planets in the night sky will shine side-by-side on Monday, Aug. 11 and Tuesday, Aug. 12, during an astronomical event known as a conjunction. The pre-dawn event does not require a telescope, just a clear view of the eastern sky.

The planetary pair will rise after 3 a.m., local time, but will be best seen between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., appearing about as far apart as the width of a pinky finger held at arm’s length.

Perseid meteor shower: Aug. 12-13

The Perseid meteor shower is often touted as the best meteor shower of the year, in part due to the warm stargazing weather. This year, it will peak on the night of Tuesday, Aug. 12, into the early morning of Wednesday, Aug. 13, but moonlight will prevent it from reaching its full potential.

"In 2025, the waning gibbous moon will severely compromise this shower at the time of maximum activity. Such conditions will reduce activity by at least 75 percent as only the brighter meteors will be visible," the American Meteor Society explained on its website.
