blam's article sez:   "In the plate's center is a representation of the star cluster Pleiades..."


Pleiades

Oh yeah, blam, dead ringer for Pleiades, LOL! Looks more like someone's imagination has gotten the better of their common sense!

I don't get it, blam, this is not the first time you've posted this kind of Art (Bell) nouveau, astronomical pseudo-science. What's up with that?
