Tonight offers stargazers an opportunity to observe the crescent moon positioned near the Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, in the constellation Taurus. This celestial alignment creates a visually striking pairing between Earth's natural satellite and one of the most recognizable star formations in the night sky.
The Pleiades is a 1,000-strong open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. The cluster's brightest stars form the distinctive pattern that gives it the nickname "Seven Sisters," though many more stars are visible through telescopes and binoculars.
