Description

In the evening sky of Brittany, France, Venus is photographed against the Pleiades star cluster in a rare close conjunction. Click on the second photo to view a wider framing of this scene. Also known as the Seven Sisters, even the brightest naked-eye Pleiades stars are over a thousand times fainter than Venus, our closest planetary neighbor.
