🌙✨ THE MOON MEETS THE PLEIADES (M45)
🗓 16 August 2025 | 22:03 IST
📍 Visible from New Delhi: 23:30 – 05:10
A magical pairing in Taurus!
The 23-day-old Moon (mag –11.8) glides near the sparkling Pleiades (mag 1.3) —
coming as close as 55.3 arcminutes apart! 🌌
🔭 Though too wide for a telescope’s view,
they’ll be a stunning sight together through binoculars
—or even the naked eye under dark skies!
🕓 Rises at 23:30 IST, climbs up to 71° high in the eastern sky
before fading with the light of dawn around 05:10
Don’t miss this elegant celestial dance
between the Moon and the Seven Sisters!
