This high-resolution image captures the Pleiades (Messier 45), an open star cluster located about 444 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. Dominated by hot, luminous B-type stars, the cluster is embedded in a faint reflection nebula-interstellar dust scattering blue light from the stars. Though only six or seven stars are typically visible to the naked eye, telescopes reveal over 1,000 members.
