• The planet Venus joins the Pleiades star cluster for a beautiful pairing in the evening skies.
• After the sun has set, look to the west to see the bright planet Venus. As it gets darker you should be able to see the open star cluster, the Pleiades right above Venus (Northern Hemisphere.) The waxing gibbous moon will be high in the sky. The Pleiades and Venus will remain in view until they set fairly late this evening.
Observers in the Southern Hemisphere will have to look towards the northwestern horizon

to see this pairing as it will be low in the sky by the time it gets dark. The Pleiades will be next to Venus. The evening couple will set much sooner after sunset at southerly latitudes
