Explanation:
A young crescent Moon shares the western
sky with
sister
stars of the Pleiades cluster in this
pretty,
evening skyscape
recorded on the March equinox from
San Antonio, Texas.
In the processed digital image, multiple exposures of the
celestial scene were combined to
show details of the bright lunar surface along with the Pleiades
stars.
Astronomical images of the
well-known Pleiades
often show the cluster's alluring blue reflection nebulae, but they
are washed-out here in the bright moonlight.
Still, during this particular night, skygazers in South and Central America
could even watch the 5 day old Moon occult or pass in front of
some of the brighter
Pleiades stars.
