COSMIC MESSAGE

The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, is an open star cluster about 400 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. It is known for its striking blue reflection nebulae, though the stars are just passing through the dust cloud. Galileo first sketched the cluster, which is a familiar sight in the night sky.
