As the evening twilight deepens on Sunday and Monday, the crescent moon finds itself next to bright Jupiter on the first night, then next to brilliant Venus. Above Venus, about the same distance that it lies above Jupiter, is the pretty Pleiades star cluster. Use binoculars to enjoy the cluster's full majesty. Tuesday night the moon, now fatter and brighter, meets the Pleiades overwhelming it with moon glow.
Such is our view from Earth...
