    The Pleiades , also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is an asterism of an open star cluster containing young B-type stars in the northwest of the constellation Taurus. At a distance of about 444 light-years, it is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and the nearest Messier object to Earth, being the most obvious star cluster to the naked eye in the night sky. It is also observed to house the reflection nebula NGC 1432, an HII r… See more

    Origin of name

    The name, Pleiades, comes from Ancient Greek: Πλειάδες. It probably derives from plein ("to sail") because of the cluster's importance in delimiting the sailing season in the Mediterranean Sea: "the season of navigation … See more

    Composition

    The cluster core radius is approximately 8 light-years and tidal radius is approximately 43 light-years. The cluster contains more than 1,000 statistically confirmed members, not counting the number that would be added if all … See more

    Age and future evolution

    Ages for star clusters may be estimated by comparing the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for the cluster with theoretical models of stellar evolution. Using this technique, ages for the Pleiades of between 75 and 150 … See more

  2. Open star cluster

    The Pleiades are a group of more than 800 stars located about 410 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. Most skywatchers are familiar with the assembly, which looks something like a smaller, hazier version of the Big Dipper in the night sky.

    How do I find the Pleiades?
    You can use a stargazing app to help you locate the cluster, or find it by first identifying some recognisable constellations and working from there. The Pleiades are located within the constellation of Taurus, which you can find by identifying the constellation of Orion the Hunter with its distinct ‘belt' of three stars.

    Where did the Pleiades come from?
    In fact, ancient humans (probably) depicted the Pleiades in cave paintings at Lascaux, France, representing the cluster as a series of painted dots near a large bull, which is presumably Taurus. The earliest written reference, however, is likely a Chinese record dating to 2300 BC.

    Where can I find the Pleiades constellation?
    The V-shaped pattern is the Face of Taurus the Bull. The bright star in the V – called Aldebaran – depicts the Bull’s Eye. Then, when you go a bit past Aldebaran, you’ll see the Pleiades cluster. It marks the Bull’s Shoulder. If you can find the prominent constellation Orion, you can always find the Pleiades.

    How many stars did ancient people know about the Pleiades?
    By analyzing the motions of the Pleiades over time using data from the Gaia space telescope, writes astronomer Ray Norris, researchers can tell that the stars Atlas and Pleione used to be notably farther apart tens of thousands of years ago, which could have led ancient people to more commonly identify seven stars.

    When are Pleiades visible?
    This is due to the stars' properties, primarily their high temperatures. The Pleiades are winter stars and are visible from the Northern Hemisphere between October and April. They’re visible all night during November and December, making this the best time to spot them.
