Description
Here is the very famous Pleiades reflection nebula, 45th object in the Messier catalog. The 7 sisters of Greek mythology chased by the great hunter Orion.
This is an open cluster located about 450 light-years away. Particular fact, the nebulosity that reflects the light of these blue stars would actually be a cloud "passing by there". The cloud from which the stars of this cluster formed would have been entirely blown away by their stellar winds.
