The eastern sky for several hours before dawn on Thursday, July 13 will host a pretty sight and photo opportunity when the slim crescent of the waning moon shines just 2 finger widths below (or celestial south of) the bright blue-white stars of the Pleiades Star Cluster, which is also known as the Seven Sisters, the Hole in the Sky, Subaru, and Messier 45. The moon and the cluster will share the view of binoculars (orange circle).
