Target details ......................... In astronomy,
the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier
object 45), is 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. Pleiades has several meanings
in different cultures and traditions. The
cluster is dominated by hot blue
and extremely luminous stars
that have formed within the last 100 million
years. Dust that forms a faint reflection
nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be
left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternate
name Maia Nebula after the star Maia),
but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar
medium that the stars are
currently passing through. Astronomers estimate that the cluster
will survive for about another 250 million
years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational
interactions with its galactic neighborhood.
