The Moon Visits the Hyades Monday Night

The moon will interact with the beautiful, V-shaped Hyades cluster on Presidents Day evening. If the skies are clear in your area on Feb. 15, be sure to look up toward the moon, just past first quarter phase and high in the southern part of the sky as darkness falls. The famous Pleiades cluster is in the bull's shoulder, while the bull's face is plainly marked by the fine V-shaped cluster of the Hyades.
