- Among the closest star clusters is the Pleiades. Its surrounding haze of ethereal blue stardust may have contributed to it becoming the subject of ancient and modern myth, but what it truly is is a collection of young stars and systems in formation.

Small correction to the narration: The Pleiades is among the nearest star clusters, not the nearest.
love that these are exactly 444 light years away
cheers

You didn't mention Pleiades is also known as Subaru. ;-P
Yesterday night I observed Pleiades with binoculars. I live in a city, and the binoculars is not even for observing cosmic objects, but that was fabulous. Thank you
Some can even discern the separate stars within the Pleiades with the naked eye. I wear glasses, and can just get a glimpse of these stars, whereas the Pleiades rather resemble a cloud in the night sky. Of course, it depends on the Bortle scale. That affects the sight of the M31 Andromedae galaxy too: sometimes, I can see it with the naked eye in a low Bortle environment. Mostly, I need binoculars, knowing where M31 is located between Cassiopeia and Andromeda, to spot it.
The Pleiades are easier to find: once you detect Orion, you should see M45 too, heading in front of Orion along the east-west direction. The blue clouds are only visible through photography though.
Wow, what a wonderful universe we live in
It has never ceased to amaze me.
I remember being around 10 years old seeing a faint blue smudge in the sky at night and always wondered what it was. When i finally got a telescope it was the first thing i pointed it at and i was shocked. I then learned it was pleadies and have been fascinated with space ever since
Having grown up in the sticks, I used to spend hours every clear night staring at the Pleiades and the Milky Way and wondering what was up there.
Found out through a QHHT session that I'm actually from the Pleiades Solar System and my 'sun' is called Alcyone. I've had 23 lives there before I came here to Earth. Very Interesting!
Yes. My soul was born there. ❤
I was told I came from there 500 years ago and families from there visiting me time to time throughout my life apparently but sad things I can’t remember except I saw big ship right in front of me one time few years back I wish I can remember more… perhaps I have more things to do here before I go back there
Do ayahuasca and it will show you all ❤❤❤
Questions I’ve asked about these stars for my whole life.
Subscribed.
Love it. Love and light.
Absolutely incredible. I came across your channel for a tutorial out of curiosity, and subscribed after seeing this masterpiece.
Thank you. I hope to create many more tours of our beautiful and fascinating universe.
So stunning!! New subscriber!!
Great video
Amazing information I would love to learn more about.Pleiades fascinating discovery💖
Great visualisation and tutorial. My current target
I hope you're getting clearer skies than we are. It's been raining here for weeks.
Incredible
M45 is certainly one of the most compelling and beautiful sights in the night sky, and I was only observing it the other night, using my 120mm refracting telescope. Depending on the atmospheric conditions at the time, it is sometimes possible to see the ‘ethereal blue’ of the reflection nebula too, even with a good pair of binoculars, in a sky of exceptional clarity, and away from the dreaded light pollution. On the subject of light pollution, I am forever perplexed by the fact that people who use very bright ‘security lights’, don’t think to hood their lights, so focussing the illumination on the area they are concerned about protecting, rather than letting the light spread outwards in all directions, including skywards!
Light pollution is such a huge issue. It turns out light pollution may be devastating for pollinating insects, too. At least, in many places, there are new regs going place to hood lights to force a tight, downward orientation.
Fantastic! I wonder how you created such a dynamic presentation?
Space Engine and Hitfilm for CGI. Davinci for color and composition. They make a killer combination.
Nice.@@SKYST0RY
nice video m8 just recently photographed the pleiades so gorgeous
It is a beautiful star cluster. And, depending on how fast your scope and camera are, spending some time on it can really bring out the gas clouds which often appear as if they have been painted over the stars.
7 sisters star cluster is very beautiful in luminosity and colour.
Fun Fact: Subaru’s Logo represents the Pleiades star cluster.
Love the mention of Elite Dangerous. What a great game. Basically galaxy sized with only a small percentage of total players have explored.
Elite was a lot of fun. I wish they'd do ship interiors.
Bom Dia ❤ esse vídeo Ca-ma- ra- len-to.
Bon dia. Are you from Curacao?
Can ANYONE tell me please WHY James Webb Space Telescope did not survey the Pleiades, scanning for Exoplanets or any other anomalies!
It's a beautiful nebula. Anyone can submit a paper and propose a target for the JWST. A panel decides on which projects are likely to accrue the most benefit in the limited span of the JWST's life.
Maybe because they are too bright, the James Webb studies infrared light, so these would be blinding in infrared red. Still the dust would show a lot of detail. Maybe they will, maybe by now they have.
@@pmboston No filter options I guess
@@JohnKuhles1966 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an extremely powerful space telescope designed to observe the universe in the infrared spectrum. This allows it to see through dust clouds and observe the earliest stages of star and galaxy formation, something that is difficult or impossible for telescopes observing in visible light. However, when it comes to observing well-known, relatively close objects like the Pleiades star cluster, there are a few reasons why the JWST might not be the best tool for the job:
1. **Brightness:** The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a cluster of stars that are relatively close to Earth and are very bright when viewed in visible light. JWST is optimized for observing very faint objects that are far away in the infrared spectrum. Looking at something as bright as the Pleiades could potentially damage its sensitive instruments.
2. **Scientific Goals:** The primary mission of the JWST is to look back in time to the early universe, observing the formation of stars, galaxies, and planetary systems that are far away and thus seen as they were billions of years ago. The Pleiades, while scientifically interesting, are relatively young (in astronomical terms) and nearby, and they have been studied extensively with other telescopes. The JWST's time is better spent on targets that cannot be observed with existing telescopes.
3. **Instrumentation:** The instruments on the JWST are specifically designed for infrared observations. While the Pleiades have interesting infrared features, especially when studying the dust and material around the stars, much of what can be learned from the Pleiades can be observed using less specialized instruments on other telescopes that operate in visible or other parts of the infrared spectrum.
4. **Observing Time is Precious:** Time on the JWST is extremely valuable and competitive, with scientists around the world proposing observations for a limited amount of observing time. Priority is given to projects that make the best use of JWST's unique capabilities to answer questions that cannot be addressed in other ways.
In summary, while the JWST could technically observe the Pleiades, its unique capabilities are better suited for observing the universe's earliest galaxies, stars, and planets, making it an invaluable resource for answering some of the most profound questions about the origins of the universe and life itself.
@@JohnKuhles1966 I asked chat gpt-4 why not. But when I paste its reply TH-cam keeps deleting it. ? Basically it just agrees with the points of brightness, and design for older infra red phenomenon and the Pleiades are young.
Alot of people mix up the little dipper and the pleadies and it makes me sad.
Let's change the stars. What I mean is, get the IAU to, OFFICIALLY, make a new constellation.
This idea for changing the stars includes Orion and Pleiades (Subaru). Figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and Betelgeuse becomes the head with a baseball hat. The 3 stars of Orion's belt make up the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. Saiph is the back foot and Rigel is the front foot. The feet aligning perfectly under the bent knees. The spear pointing at "Subaru" is the bat being swung and "Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. Bellatrix is the hand that let go of the bat. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter and I imagine a "7" on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be ;-) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. It'd be wrong of me to not, at least, try. This is me, trying. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P
Well, that would be relevant for one single country. In any event you can interpret whatever you like in the stars. Before I learned more about constellations I always saw a kitten in the spring sky, the head made up by Taurus and the tail by Orion´s club.
@@antonhosinsky3090 Let the dreamers dream. I'd say it'd be relevant in every country that also loves baseball. Even those in the southern hemisphere.

Mr. Elon Musk. Stephen Hawking was very wrong, logically my revolution in physics has been in effect, i.e. valid, for 28 years. I discovered aliens in their star spaceships and realized that we live in a parallel universe. Johann Zdebor 01/17/95
Our solar system rotates around the "7 sisters". I know they didn't teach that in school!
