Description

M45, the always-lovely Pleiades. I was surprised to discover how much nebulosity there is around the cluster, and how much structure there is in the reflection nebulae.

Wikipedia says: “Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster M45, or the "Seven Sisters" (one of whom tradition says is invisible – hence only six stars in the Subaru logo).” I wonder what “tradition” says that one is invisible…?
