Old Moon and Sister Stars

COSMIC MESSAGE

An old crescent Moon shares the eastern sky over Menton, France, with the sister stars of the Pleiades cluster. This early morning skyscape was recorded on June 23rd. Astronomical images of the Pleiades often show the cluster's blue reflection nebulae, but they are washed out here by the bright moonlight. While the crescent Moon is overexposed, surface features can still be seen on its dimly lit portion.
