I loved discovering the Pleiades as a 12 year old astronomy nerd, but seeing it rise earlier and earlier in the western sky during the fall made me depressed because I knew Winter was just around the corner. Even though the winter sky is brilliant it was still winter, and well, school was in session which I hated.

What I like about The Pleiades is it’s easy visibility. Naked eye, binoculars, or even small telescopes show it really well. If
I’m ever blessed to go to a dark enough site maybe see some nebulosity.
Another favorite is the Double Cluster, but that’s for another time🙂🔭
