See the moon, Venus and the Pleiades make a celestial triangle in the predawn sky on June 22

A few bright dots on a dark blue background.

Look to the east before sunrise on June 22 to catch the delicate form of the crescent moon shining with Venus alongside the Pleiades star cluster.

Stargazers in the U.S. can find the cosmic trio loitering above the eastern horizon in the hours preceding dawn on Sunday, June 22. Venus will be visible shining to the lower right of the sickle-like shape of the waning crescent moon, while the Pleiades open star cluster can be found less than 10 degrees (one fist's width at arm's length) to the lower left of the lunar disk.
