2020 September 09 - Pleiades: The Seven Sisters Star Cluster
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 09/09/2020

In today's image, we see the open star cluster known as the Pleiades. This is a cluster os stars in the constellation Taurus. The cluster is easily visible to the naked eye and often known as the Seven Sisters - even though only six bright stars are currently visible. Perhaps one star faded over thousands of years?
