The Pleiades are one of the most famous open clusters, and have been known since ancient times. They are prominent to the naked eye, and long exposure photographs reveal delicate wisps of reflection nebulosity around the stars. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows one of the brightest patches of nebulosity, near the star Merope.
