Moon Meets Pleiades

Moon Meets Pleiades

At around 4:07 am on July 20, 2025, the crescent Moon moved in front of the star cluster, Pleiades, occluding it momentarily. This is the image created from moments before the Moon made first contact with the star, Electra, the star closest to the bottom of the crescent.
