Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy time-lapse Picture of the Day (AtlPOD) for Saturday, April 11, 2020 entitled "Venus and the Pleiades in April."

"Explanation: Shared around world in early April skies Venus, our brilliant evening star, wandered across the face of the lovely Pleiades star cluster. This timelapse image follows the path of the inner planet during the beautiful conjunction showing its daily approach to the stars of the Seven Sisters. From a composite of tracked exposures made with a telephoto lens, the field of view is also appropriate for binocular equipped skygazers. While the star cluster and planet were easily seen with the naked-eye, the spiky appearance of our sister planet in the picture is the result of a diffraction pattern produced by the camera's lens. All images were taken from a home garden in Chiuduno, Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, fortunate in good weather and clear spring nights."

Song of Venus (Goddess of Love)
A song dedicated to the transit of Venus across the Sun. An astronomical rarity (by our standards). The backing sound is NASA's publicly released sound of electromagnetic waves turned into radio-waves which enables us to hear the true sounds that Venus (and other celestial bodies) emits.

The sound was close enough to Eb that I auto tuned this frequency and used it as a sort of "drone" in order to put my own music over it. I tried to stay with the mythological theme of Venus (being the Goddess of Love) and portray my own ideas of this theme....only wish I had a harmonica in the key of Eb to elaborate this thought.
