Pleiades: The EIGHT Sisters?

Nope, it's still the Seven Sisters, but the Pleiades star cluster (M45) had an extra object in it around 8:40 PM, Tuesday, April 3, 2012, as the planet Venus was positioned within the cluster. Venus far outshown the others though, as it blazed away at -4.40 apparent magnitude. This view of the celestial spectacle looks west from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and was a three second exposure at f/5.6, 3200 ISO and 200mm focal length. Venus finds itself in conjunction with the Pleiades once every eight years.
