Venus, Pleiades and Hyades in Volcanic Sunset.
At about 6.30 pm on 13th April the sky had dimmed sufficiently to enable the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) star cluster to appear below Venus with the Hyades and Red Giant star Aldebaran in the Taurus Constellation above providing a rare glimpse of these in the vicinity of red glow when the sky, in the absence of volcanic aerosols, would otherwise have been dark.
