Description

The Pleiades (M45), also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky (Wiki).

As you can see Pleiades are surrounded by dust nebulae. The blue color can be seen away from the nebula.
