How to See Mars and the 'Seven Sisters Stars' for the Last Time Until 2034

https://people.com/how-to-see-mars-and-the-seven-sisters-stars-for-the-last-time-until-2034-12005222

Mars will appear closest to the Pleiades star cluster on Sunday, June 28, before sunrise

The Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters, are a group of blue-white stars in the Taurus constellation.

This will be the last easily visible Mars-Pleiades encounter until 2034, making it a rare celestial event.

Mars is spending the final days of the month gliding past the famous Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters) and this celestial encounter will not be this easy to see again for years.

Much more at link.

Enjoy!
