Joe Heafner<p>Psst! See Moon tonight? It's next to the famous Pleiades cluster. This only happens every 18-19 years and coincides with major lunar standstills (aka lunistices). The current series of passes near, and sometimes over, the Pleiades began last year and will last till 2029. Get outside and take a look! <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pleiades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pleiades</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LCTTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LCTTA</span></a></p><p><a href="https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/watch-the-moon-occult-the-pleiades-spica-too/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-</span><span class="invisible">news/observing-news/watch-the-moon-occult-the-pleiades-spica-too/</span></a></p>

Joe Heafner<p>Hey North American observers, FYI the very bright object to Moon’s lower right tonight is Venus. The dimmer object between Venus and Moon is Saturn. Your homework is to watch Moon’s position change relative to Venus and Saturn over the next few nights. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LCTTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LCTTA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NakedEyeAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NakedEyeAstronomy</span></a></p>
