In this episode,
Astronomy
magazine Editor Emeritus Dave Eicher invites you to head out during the early morning hours the second week of September. It’s then when you’ll see the Moon pass by the Pleiades star cluster. Also known as M45, this group of stars resembles a tiny dipper. The Pleiades is bright, so you’ll see it even with a bright Moon nearby. Good luck!
