See the delicate crescent moon dance with the 'Seven Sisters' of the Pleiades tonight

Heads up, stargazers! The waxing crescent moon will glide close to the Pleiades tonight and tomorrow (March 22-23), putting on a gorgeous display as its upturned crescent shines close to the ancient light of the open star cluster.

Look to the western horizon after sunset on March 22 to find the Pleiades glowing 5 degrees above the 14%-lit sickle-like form of the waxing moon — roughly the width of your three middle fingers held at arm's length against the sky.

The orange-red star Aldebaran can be found around this time, shining to the left of the Pleiades along with the "V" formation of stars that form the Hyades cluster in the constellation Taurus. Venus, meanwhile, will shine close to the horizon as a fleeting "evening star," swiftly disappearing from sight after the sun, while Jupiter glows high overhead in Gemini.
