“Jupiter, Saturn and Messier 45” is copyrighted by Ken Webb. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBrilliant Venus falls out of the evening sky as March ends, but Jupiter and Saturn remain well up above the western horizon. Jupiter blazes forth above and to the left of a slightly fainter Saturn in this telephoto picture taken on January 19th. Near the top lies the lovely Pleiades star cluster, also known as M45, with hints of its characteristic blue reflection nebulae. These planets and the Pleiades have a similar, easily recognizable orientation in the spring night sky.
