MY NAME

The Pleiades also known as The Seven

Sisters, Messier 45 and other names by
different cultures, is an asterism and an open
star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-
type stars in the north-west of the
constellation Taurus. At a distance of about
444 light years, it is among the nearest star
clusters to Earth. It is the nearest Messier
object to Earth, and is the most obvious
cluster to the naked eye in the night sky. The
cluster is dominated by hot blue luminous
stars that have formed within the last 100
million years.

In Hinduism,
the Pleiades are known as Kṛttikā and are
scripturally associated with the war-god Kartikeya but
the Hindus celebrate the first day (new moon) of the
month of Kartik as Diwali, a festival of abundance
and lamps.
 The Pleiades was the most well-
known star among pre-Islamic
Arabs and so often simply referred
to as "the Star"
 In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were the seven
daughters of the Titan Atlas. He was forced to hold up
the sky for eternity, and was therefore unable to protect
his daughters. To save the sisters from being raped by
the hunter Orion, Zeus transformed them into stars.
But the story says one sister fell in love with a mortal
and went into hiding, which is why we only see six stars.
