Venus/Pleiades Conjunction
Venus/Pleiades Conjunction
Venus visits the Pleiades every eight years and tries to become the eight sister of the bunch. She never succeeds but she gives it ol' college try. I caught her in a last-ditched effort to git-er-done...once again. Brilliant as she may be, she's no match for the cluster girls.

Re: Venus/Pleiades Conjunction
Nice shot ..... you caught the conjunction perfectly.
Do you mind if I get a copy of the conjunction for use in my astronomy course for 2nd Half Learning?
