Astronomy Fun Fact:

The Pleiades are the most recognizable star cluster worldwide; they can be seen from the North Pole to as far as 65 degrees south latitude! The best observing month is January.

There are actually several hundred stars in the cluster; most are faint (i.e., near the luminosity of our own sun).

You know those dolphins who visited the Dogans? Didn't they come from the Pleiades?
