Description

The full moon occults the Pleiades. Since the moon's so much brighter than the stars, this may be hard to see. It's an even harder challenge to photograph. Here's how some astrophotographers will do it.

This is the best time to look at Saturn for a nearly edge-on view of the rings.

Mercury approaches greatest elongation.

Venus heads into the sunrise while Mars heads into the sunset.
