Venus, with a large corona, in conjunction with the Pleiades open star cluster on 3rd April 2020. The corona is caused by the diffraction of light by small water droplets. The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, (M45) is an open star cluster of over 1000 stars, of which around 14 are visible to the naked eye. It is around 440 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Taurus. The conjunction of Venus and Pleiades occurs roughly every eight years. Captured from Cumeada Observatory, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal.
