In this episode, Astronomy magazine Editor Dave Eicher invites you to head out during the early evening hours of March 5. That evening, the Moon will pass quite close to the Pleiades star cluster. Also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, this group of stars is easy to see with your naked eyes. Still, binoculars might give an even better view of the encounter between it and our lone natural satellite. Good luck!
