I remember some woman, a friend of my then-girlfriend, informing me that the Subaru logo was a depiction of the Pleiades, “you know, the Seven Sisters”. I asked why the Subaru logo had only six stars, but received no answer.
I like the Pleiades. They’re one of the few things I recognize in the night sky, since I never was very good at spotting constellations. Once, on a very clear and still night in the mountains at about 8500 feet, I was able to see 10 stars in the cluster (maybe 11, but I wasn’t certain of the last one).
10 stars! Wow! I can see 7 but I need my binoculars to do it. I’ll need my 115mm refractor to see more!
