Description

Although the evening was clear for a short time, but for two days, and the position of the two objects changed spectacularly compared to each other, Venus moved precisely in front of the Fiastyús. The star cluster is quite far away approx. 450 light-years away, so it takes a few tens of thousands of years to see its stars move, but in the case of Venus, even one day is enough for the noticeable difference.
