Though the sky immediately around the Pleiades contains no
brightstars, the cluster is
easy to locate. It lies directly to the northwest of the V-shaped Hyades, the 'face' of
Taurus the Bull.
Inside the cluster: A view from Alcyone of several of its fellow stars within the Pleiades. From bottom left to top right: Atlas, Pleione, Asterope, Taygeta and Electra.
