“Pleiades to Hyades” is copyrighted by Amir H. Abolfath. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis cosmic vista spans almost 20 degrees across the constellation Taurus, from the Pleiades to the Hyades star clusters. The compact Pleiades, about 400 light-years away, shines through dusty clouds that scatter blue starlight. The V-shaped Hyades cluster, closer at 150 light-years, appears more spread out.
