Stargazers are set for a spectacular show this Saturday (April 22), as the moon and Venus — the two brightest objects in the night sky — will appear as if they are about to collide amid a meteor shower, all while set against the backdrop of a stunning star cluster.
Venus will appear 6 degrees above and to the left of the waxing crescent moon by Saturday, with the Pleiades star cluster — a group of seven visible (and many more dim) stars popularly known as the "Seven Sisters" — about the same apparent distance below a beautiful and slender crescent moon, according to NASA.
