Description

Put on your sunglasses to face the nebulocity of the Pleiades. This open star cluster, located in the constellation Taurus, is also know as the Seven Sisters and can easily be seen with the naked eye. The bright nebulcity is coming from the reflection of the star light on dust clouds, hence the name reflection nebula.
