Description

(Serramanna) - The Pleiades, also known as the "seven sisters" (M45 catalog of Charles Messier) is an open cluster easily visible to the naked eye in the autumn and winter sky of the northern hemisphere. They are away from us "only" 440 years light and their numerous blue reflection nebulae are simply stunning.

(Serramanna) - Le Pleiadi, dette anche le "sette sorelle" (M45 del catalogo di Charles Messier) sono un ammasso aperto visibile facilmente ad occhio nudo nel cielo autunnale ed invernale dell'emisfero boreale. Distano da noi "solo" 440 anni luce e le loro numerose nebulose a riflessione azzurre sono semplicemente stupende.
