Description

The Pleaides, also known as M45, Subaru, The Seven Sisters, etc. is an open star cluster in the constellation Taurus, containing hot luminous blue B-type stars.  It is the closest Messier object to earth, and a very familiar object in the fall and winter sky.  The reflection nebula is now thought to be simply a part of the interstellar medium and not associated with the stars in the cluster
