Once every 8 years, brilliant Venus appears to pass right through the renowned Pleiades star cluster. This celestial meetup is called a conjunction, and it's the result of the geometries of our solar system. In this video, we'll go to the Giovale Open Deck Observatory at Lowell Observatory (https://lowell.edu/godo) to learn how to see this spectacular conjunction.
You can also join Lowell Observatory on Friday, April 3, 2020, for a live stream of this Venus-Pleiades Conjunction: • Venus Meets the Pleiades | Lowell Observatory .
