#Repost @astrofellow ・・・ 2019-10-04 Pleiades (M45) — Equipment I used: Nikon D7100 WO Z61 iO SkyGuider Pro — Blue & Gold! 🌠 I’d like you all to meet The Seven Sisters, an open star cluster containing B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. My personal favorite open cluster. I really wanted to shoot the Pleiades and couldn’t wait until they were in the sky earlier in the night, so I shot this on a night where they would be high enough starting at 22:30; it turned out to be a pretty late night. It was also the night before my birthday, so I spent the early morning of my birthday accompanied by The Seven Sisters; Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygeta, Celaeno, and Alcyone. Along with their parents, Atlas and Pleione. 😊 Enjoy! — A little about this object: The Pleiades were formed within the last 100 million years. They’re about 444 light-years away from us. Around the brightest of the stars, you see the reflection nebulae; clouds of interstellar dust which reflect the light of nearby stars. There are two theories about the nebulae; that it could be leftover material from the formation of the cluster, or that it could be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium through which the stars are currently passing. There is an origin of the name Pleiades, as well as some very interesting folklore and mythology. Look into it! Also, astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood. — Clear skies, — M.

As we count down to @newyorkcomiccon, let’s remember the moment Rosario Dawson, crashed @levar.burton’s bedtime story to @neildegrassetyson at NYCC two years ago. True fact, @rosariodawson once told me my hair was pretty, but I guess this moment was cool too. (at Javits Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QJ2mOgLww/?igshid=1aeh5tcn6k6v9
