Early tomorrow ✨🌙 ✨🌙✨  Don’t miss a stunning celestial show as the crescent Moon glows right beside the Pleiades star cluster (Seven Sisters) in the eastern sky before dawn.  Look up around 4:30–5:00 AM for the best view. Even with the naked eye, the Moon and Pleiades will look magical — and with binoculars, you’ll see dozens of sparkling stars around the cluster.  A peaceful reminder that the same stars have inspired myths and stories for thousands of years.
