The Moon Meets M45 - Moon/Pleiades

Description
November 16, 2024, something cool happened. Not only was it a supermoon, the last of 2024, but this supermoon also went directly in front of the famous Pleiades star cluster! This happens relatively often, but is beautiful every single time. One thing I always enjoy in events like this is the scale we’re dealing with here. The moon was just in its closest approach to Earth, at about 222,698 miles away. The Pleiades meanwhile are about 444 LIGHT YEARS away, aka about 2.575 QUADRILLION miles away. This means that the Pleiades is about 11 BILLION times farther away than the moon!
