June 24, 2022 Clear skies this morning. The Pleiades star cluster next to Venus in a pink eastern sky filled with rosy clouds, and the rare planet Mercury and Aldebaran below. The stars under the pink sky are really beautiful!
The Pleiades star cluster (M45), commonly known as the Seven Sisters star cluster in China, is the most beautiful open star cluster. It is next to Venus, the brightest planet, and the two are in harmony. Mercury below happens to be accompanied by the red Aldebaran, and in fact, the Hyades star cluster, but they have been hidden in the sky.
The bottom view is the sea to the east of Taiwan, which is the Pacific Ocean. Many bright spots on the sea are the lights of the fishing boats that get up early to work.
