Eye on the Night Sky
Wednesday, November 06, 2024
Today:
Along with the trees now barren of leaves, and occasional early skimmings of snow, early November welcomes a classic object into the late Autumn skies. More than one third of the way up from the eastern horizon, you’ll catch a smudge or cluster of stars, tightly packed together, called the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades. For the best views, look slightly away from them, allowing their faint light to strike a more sensitive part of your eye.
