Pleiades star cluster

This week, Venus - the brightest planet and dazzling "evening star" - will pass the beautiful Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters. Look west after sunset! Venus and the Pleiades meet only every 8 years. Photos here.

"Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the bright stars of the Pleiades can be seen without binoculars from even the depths of a light-polluted city. With a long exposure from a dark location, though, the dust cloud surrounding the Pleiades star cluster becomes very evident. The featured exposure, taken from Florida, USA, covers a sky area several times the size of the full moon." | Image Credit & Copyright: Damien Cannane

“The Pleiades star cluster and surrounding dust!”

Welcome to Will Gater Astrophotography, a gallery of astronomical imagery captured by astronomer and science writer Will Gater.

A delicately thin crescent Moon will cross in front the star cluster.

The grammar of Genesis 1 shows that stars were made on Day 4 of Creation Week, thus refuting soft gap theories.
