The sky on
your birthday.
X-Ray Pleiades Credit:
The Pleiades star cluster, a beautiful grouping of stars in Taurus, is visible to the unaided eye. Telescopes reveal delicate blue wisps of dust reflecting starlight around its stars. The ROSAT orbiting observatory captured this X-ray view, showing a different, yet equally impressive, appearance of the cluster.
