Moon-Pleiades: the romantic spectacle of our satellite “immersed” in the beautiful and “nearby” star cluster is about to return, a spectacle in itself. If the weather is kind, we will admire the event perfectly with the naked eye. An unmissable event there evening of October 19th!
As the UAI explains, we will admire the close encounter between the Moon and the Pleiades on the evening of October 19, looking towards the constellation of Taurus (in the map the sky of October 19, 2024 at approximately 11.30 pm).
All this, after having already enjoyed the Moon-Saturn “kiss”.
Among other things – we always say it – the Pleiades they are a spectacle even on their own: in fact the star cluster, far from sources of light pollution (which is actually becoming a huge problem), shows us up to 12 stars and in any case, if the weather is kind, it is not difficult to count 4 or 5 even in the city.
As for the Moon, well, it will be wonderful, just two of the full phase: the Hunter’s Super Moon, the largest and brightest of the year, is expected on October 17th.
And – be careful – it doesn’t end here, because our satellite will then also meet Mars and Jupiter.
Let’s not miss this wonderful opportunity to watch the starry sky.
