See the moon meet up with the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades early on Nov. 6

A detailed shot of a grey full moon is pictured against a black sky, sporting bright craters and dark features known as lunar maria. .

Look to the western sky in the hours preceding dawn on Nov. 6 to see the moon shine close to the constellation Taurus and the stars of the Pleiades open cluster.

The 94%-lit moon will appear roughly halfway up the western sky in the hours before sunrise on Nov. 6, with the stars of the Pleiades appearing as a hazy patch of light 5 degrees to its upper left — though they'll be a challenge to spot in the glow of the bright near-full moon. Remember, the width of your three middle fingers held at arm's length spans roughly 5 degrees in the night sky.
