'Today, the red planet Mars and the famous Pleiades star cluster - also known as the Seven Sisters - stage their closest conjunction on the sky's dome until 2038. Mars swings 2.6 degrees south of the Pleiades, which appears on our sky's dome as a tiny, misty dipper of stars. They'll be a lovely sight in the evening sky, one you can just glance upward to see!'
