In Japanese, this cluster is called “Subaru” and you will see the stars in the logo of the car company by that name.

The actual number of Pleiades stars visible, however, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding sky and the clarity of the observer's eyesight.

In 1981, on a very clear night in the Sierra Nevada, I saw ten Pleiades stars that I was certain of, but couldn't quite convince myself of the eleventh. Long time since I've seen more than the usual six, though.

These Seven Sisters would by now have been renamed something woke.

I just had to look up details to this “gender neutral” insanity, since most people I interact with are definitely not woke.

So, the different options are:

The Seven Sibsters

The Seven Theys

The Seven Spawns

The Seven Niblings
