Las Siete Hermanas, también conocidas como las Pléyades son uno de los cúmulos abiertos más brillantes y más fáciles de ver en el cielo.

Pléyades En la mitología griega, las Pléyades eran siete hermanas, hijas de Atlas y Pléyone. En astronomía, las Pléyades son un cúmulo abierto de la constelación Tauro.

Pleiades can refer to:

Pleiades (Greek mythology) – Seven sisters of Greek mythology

Pleiades (star cluster) – open cluster of stars in the constellation Taurus

Look at this:Pleiades
