Celestial Sisters of the Night — The Pleiades (M45)

From the tranquil darkness of Desert Bloom Observatory, the ancient sisters of light—the Pleiades (M45)—rise in ethereal blue mist. Born from the Taurus constellation, this open star cluster, located about 444 light-years away, whispers tales of cosmic youth and stardust. Their delicate reflection nebulae shimmer in scattered light, dancing across interstellar dust like dream-silk illuminated by diamonds. Once a myth among mortals, now a spectacle through the lens of science and wonder—an eternal harmony between myth, matter, and light.
