| Description |
The Pleiades (or Seven Sisters) is an
open cluster in Taurus. The blue appearance of all the
stars is not an accident. These stars are young (maybe
100 million years old) and very hot. From a really dark
spot you can see 7 stars in the cluster using just your
eye. Most locations have enough light pollution that
you will only see 6 or fewer stars. |
