    Half-Moon Approaches the Pleiades and Uranus (overnight)

    Shortly after the half-lit moon clears the treetops in the east late on Friday evening, August 15, the stars of the bright little Pleiades Star Cluster, also known as Messier 45, Subaru, and the Hole in the Sky, will be arrayed to the moon's lower left (or celestial east) with Uranus close below it. Skywatchers viewing the scene later at night or in more westerly time zones will see the moon close enough to the cluster for them to share the view in binoculars. By dawn on Saturday, the moon and the cluster will shine high in the southeastern sky.
