Optical photo of the Hyades star cluster
Hyades and Pleiades star clusters. Optical photograph of the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters in the constellation Taurus. North is at top. The Hyades form a V-shape at lower left. The cluster contains over 200 stars, of which several are visible to the naked eye. The bright star Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri) seen in the cluster is not actually a member at all, lying around half the distance to the cluster at around 60 light years. The Pleiades cluster (upper right) is young in astronomical terms, around 100 million years old. The cluster lies 380 light years away, and is thought to contain over 500 stars

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters in the constellation Taurus. With its north positioned at the top, this optical photograph reveals a stunning V-shape formed by the Hyades cluster on the lower left. Comprising more than 200 stars, some of which are visible to the naked eye, this celestial spectacle is truly awe-inspiring. However, one prominent star steals attention amidst this cosmic gathering. Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), shining brightly within the cluster, deceives us as it is not actually a member of this stellar congregation. Instead, it lies approximately halfway between us and the cluster itself at a distance of around 60 light years. On another note, situated in the upper right corner of this image is another remarkable sight - The Pleiades cluster. In astronomical terms, it is considered young with an age of around 100 million years. Located 380 light years away from our planet Earth, this enchanting collection is believed to encompass over 500 stars. Through this extraordinary photograph captured by Science Photo Library's lens, we are granted a glimpse into these celestial wonders that have fascinated astronomers and stargazers for centuries. It serves as a reminder of just how vast and magnificent our universe truly is.
