The Pleiades are one of the nearest and most easily visible open clusters in the night sky. They have been known since antiquity, and are symbolic in the mythology of many cultures. They are embedded in a blue hazy reflection nebula, caused by starlight reflecting off dust. Credit: NASA/ESA/AURA/Caltech
