不，地球最近又获得了6颗卫星！今天的APOD是4月19日，当暮色转为黄昏时，月亮、金星和昴宿星团穿过西西里岛南部天空的图像组合。从2023年到2029年，由于昴宿星团位于黄道平面上，它和月球每月“拜访”对方一次。2026年4月，他们与金星相遇。昴星团（梅西耶45）中大约有六颗恒星通常是肉眼可见的。由于这个星团在世界各地的可见性，有许多与昴宿星团有关的神话和传说。例如，北美的豪德诺索尼人（Haudenosaunee）说，七个男孩跳得如此热情，以至于他们飞上了天空。天文学家最近又发现了数千个昴宿星团成员，这表明在对这个星团进行了数千年的观测之后，关于昴宿星团还有更多的东西需要了解。

No, Earth did not recently acquire six more moons! Today’s APOD is a combination of images following the Moon, Venus, and the Pleiades across a southern Sicilian sky as twilight turned to evening on April 19. From 2023 to 2029, the Pleiades' and the Moon “visit" each other once per month due to the Pleiades' location in the ecliptic plane. April 2026 saw the celestial alignment of their visit with Venus. About six stars in the Pleiades cluster (Messier 45) are typically visible with the unaided eye. Due to the cluster’s visibility across the world, there are many myths and legends across cultures associated with the Pleiades. The Haudenosaunee people of North America, for example, say that seven boys danced so enthusiastically that they lifted off into the sky. Astronomers recently found thousands more Pleiades members, showing that after thousands of years of gazing upon this cluster, there is yet more to learn about the Pleiades.
