January 9, 2025 Moon and Pleiades

Grab your binos this evening to watch the Moon pass over a diamond-filled patch of sky. The Pleiades open cluster has been known since ancient times and includes over a thousand stars bound together by gravity. 

Hope the view adds some extra twinkle to the winter season!
