Composite image of Venus (yellow) in conjunction with the Pleiades open star cluster on 3rd April 2020. The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, (M45) is an open star cluster of over 1000 stars, of which around 14 are visible to the naked eye. It is around 440 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Taurus. It is surrounded by a reflection nebula (blue). The conjunction of Venus and Pleiades occurs roughly every eight years. Several frames from the 3rd April 2020 have been combined with data from 2016 to create this image. | |
