April delights: Mercury, Venus and the Pleiades put on a sky show this month

Venus will shine bright in the April 2023 night sky, as it often does.

From now through mid-April, in the western evening twilight sky, the "Queen of the Night," better known as the brilliant planet Venus, will help you to identify the normally hard-to-find planet Mercury. 

And along the way, Venus will have a striking interaction with The Seven Sisters, the Pleiades star cluster.
