The Pleiades cluster is visible in the evening sky to the east this month. Check the Pleiades out now while the moon is still in the first quarter (rising early and not so bright).
This is the Pleiades star cluster, also called the Seven Sisters, though most people can only see six stars with the eye alone. These six little stars form a dipper pattern that distinguishes the Pleiades from any other stars. The pattern is more dipper-like than the actual Little Dipper asterism in the northern sky.
. . .November is sometimes said to be the month of the Pleiades, because that’s when this beautiful cluster shines from dusk until dawn. That’s because the Pleiades stand opposite the sun each year in November.
