- The Pleiades - or Seven Sisters - are the 45th entry in Messier's Catalogue and one of the most famous collections of stars in our night sky. "Diamonds on black velvet," as Pete describes them.
This video features John Hurst (Nottingham Astronomical Society), Pete Lawrence (astronomy expert and broadcaster) and Paul Crowther (University of Sheffield)

There is a poem in Arabic whose one line says 'we were scattered like Ursa Major, love brought us together like Pleiades'.
Can you link that poem? Or maybe the poet? I'd love to know which one it is.
El Hombre de oro if u can
Could u write the name in Arabic
Thats beautiful! Whats the name of the poet?
That is a beautiful line right there.
وكُنَّا في إجْتِماعٍ كالثُّرَيّا ، فَصِرْنا فِرْقَةً كَبَناتِ نَعْشٍ
The Pleiades are the most beautiful thing that you can see in the sky with your naked eye.
You mean Unaided Eye?
I've always felt the same way while staring up into the night sky while camping. On a clear, moonless night far from any town and above 10,000 feet here in Colorado, you get some awe-inspiring night skies. Sometimes if I look too long and really think hard about the time and distances involved, it almost makes me queasy. Then a shooting star will whoosh by and make me smile.
I just saw Pleiades for the very first time in the night sky and I was in awe. I could not look away for quite some time...amazing.
This was the first messier object I ever spotted. Where i live, they're almost directly over my house (little strenuous on the neck). I first noticed an odd, faint group of stars. Did some reading and came across this video and channel a few weeks ago. I'm hooked now lol
We Navajo have very ancient stories that the 7 sisters is where we came from or where our creator is.
5th element
Beautiful
And you are just as wrong as those who propose any other extraterrestrial origin of humans.
@@cush6827 imagine being an asshole
@Nicole Jessica You r on to something true here,there Is a TV show called Project Blue Book that airs on the History Channel that tells the story of a couple that were abducted,the man drew the entire star system from memory but yet had no recollection he drew It and did not know what It meant just keeps repeating In his mind driving him crazy until he forced his way by gun point onto an Army base to talk to 2 special people hired by the government to investigate UFO cases and purposely debunk them,I don't want to give to much away but i think It's the 2nd to the last episode of season 1 and It's a must watch tv series,hope you reply to me on this.
Pleiades also known as Subaru in Japan, which is where the car's logo comes from.
just saw this cluster tonight for the first time and had to look it up! thought the alignment was something other than stars. great video thank you :)
I started looking the night sky 6 months ago, and I took my brother outside when it was very dark, at least where we live. Pleiades was sort of horrifying to him, since we've never payed attention to stars. The cluster makes you feel sort of uneasy at its detail, like it's only a few miles away. I'm going to get a telescope and go to a place a few hours away which is known for its darkness in a few weeks, so he's going to be REALLY terrified of the Milky Way.
Cool. How did the Milky Way look?
Haha! I take my brother out to see the stars too but he didn't got scared, he liked it and almost every night we go outside to see the stars.
While in Iraq, I discovered you could view the night sky with a lot more clarity. The stars seemed to be much more evident. The cosmos is an amazing creation. I don't know that I'd label it as terrifying, but probably more like awesome or grandiose.
Subaru being the Japanese name for the Pleiades, of course :)
If you stare at the pleides you can’t see them as well as if you use peripheral vision
the Hindu Festival of "Diwali" has a special relation to visibility of Pleiades !
Love it, (pleiades) or seven sisters is the meaning of my name in Persian language (parvin)🌸♥
I love this star cluster
Favorite. Seeing it makes me crying.
I can relate.
your soul might originate from pleiades, mine is and i found myself gazing up at it as a child completely unaware of what i know now.
Relate ❤❤
@@rukadevuroux same always looked at it and found it as a child teenager in the sky growing up. Definitely relate to the descriptions and vega. ❤
Every time I look at it my heart aches
Awesome video, Brady.
Daytime Binoculars tend to be 7x35, 8x40, or 10x50, but good night time binoculars would be 7x50, or 10x70, where these have a bigger aperture, bringing in more light. If my eyes were not so messed up, I would have had 7x50 binoculars, that would bring in more faint objects than my 10x50.
All cultures got fascinated by those seemingly 7 stars in a night sky. While western civilizations called them "seven sisters", in eastern (indian) culture they are named as "seven saints or saptarshi".
ur right..the "seven heavens" as well
In Mizoram, we (the mizos) called 'siruk' (six stars)
Here we call it rosary
Hey you are very welcome... many of my projects are exclusively with the University of Nottingham, but in fairness I should point out this one crosses several organisations (including Paul Crowther from the Uni of Sheffield, who appears here!!!)
The Nottingham people are still a huge (the biggest) contributor to DeepSkyVideos though, especially astronomers Mike Merrifield and Meghan Gray!
If you don't have a tracking mount, then it would.
A rule of thumb is to divide 600 by the (effective) focal length of your lens, and you will have how many seconds you can expose, before you get noticable trailing.
brady's knowledge on the myriad of subjects he covers must be increasing so much from interviewing such great minds
My wife's favorite thing in the night sky -- so delicately beautiful. This video makes me want to look at it through binoculars.
Thank you Brady and Stephen! It's one of my favourite Messier objects.
P.S. 2 seconds shorter, it'll be SEVEN minute FORTY-FIVE second long
This is where the Allies of Earth come from.
actually yes among many others, there are plenty of multi dimensional beings here because the earth call out to us. now the problem is when we are reincarnated here we lose all knowledge of who are and why we are here. the other problem is the evil here takes advantage of that and well like nicole in your replies they laugh and believe the facade. i am a descendant of Vega and Pleiades and i know my purpose here, do you?
@@rukadevuroux same vega and paliedies❤❤❤😊
@@rukadevuroux were on the same journey I guess lol I'm here to find out where the Olmec people came from exactly
Nicole Jessica laugh all you want. Your programed by all this propaganda to not believe this is true. Atlantis, other ancient civilizations, all of that stuff is very real
@@deliverus6856 didn't they recently discover that Atlantis is the Eye of The Sahara..
Job 38:31 KJV
[31] Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Astronomy is interesting but that is beautiful.
Here for same reason. Awe inspiring...
What does this mean exactly? I believe I'm on a mission to understand Orion and pleidies
Erick Amador yeah me to let me know some pointers
What is thsis
weird that anyone would downvote straightforward educational content like this
One of my favourites in the night sky and so easy and satisfying just with binoculars.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was waiting for this for a long time, since I spotted this beautiful cluster. It took some time to identify it, but here we are. :) It's magnificent!
Finally i found its name ,this stars is my favorite stars and ive been seeing it since 2013
I was surprised I was able to see them in the suburbs. Quite amazing!
FINALLY M45! This cluster is the reason I got into astronomy way back when I was like 13 years old. Just look at my youtube user name haha
I really love those videos, the night sky is really what drawn me towards physics and it keeps me fascinated everytime :D
To be honest, when I saw this in my sub-box I immediately thought: Seven Sisters tube station (Victoria Line, London) [-_-]
Then I saw the "(M45) - Deep Sky Videos," and was *way* more excited! :)
When i was a kid id go out into the field and stare at pleiades for a long time. Idk why but i felt some sort of connection to it. That never left me. Id call it the "tiny dipper" cuz it kinda looked like a dipper. It wasnt till years later when i learned its name was pleiades.
In the biography of 4 towering giant scholars of Islam: "The Four Imams", therein there's reference to a Hadith [in Bukhari, Muslim, ash-Shirazi and at-Tabrani, in the section of Imam Abu Hanifa رحمه الله who was of Persian lineage] stating: "If knowlege were suspended in the Pleiades, some of the men of Persia would still obtain it." 💎
Wahey, a Messier object I have seen with my own eyes!
Considering it must have been there my whole life, it was weirdly recently that I actually saw the 'seven' sisters (I saw enough to recognise the 'dipper' shape and maybe one more?), and it was quite an awe-inspiring experience to just casually be looking up at the night sky and go "... wait, hang on, that's a star cluster up there".
Lately,everynight I light a joint and simply gaze at the Seven Sisters.They are just wonderful to look at with the naked eye.
One of the first observations I made as an amateur astronomer was of the Pleiades cluster, and I must say I was amazed by how simple, yet beautiful it was. Seeing such high res images of these things just inspires me further, the beauty of the universe is truly boundless.
I found it interesting as, at first, I used a lower exposure time on my camera, and the formation of the stars I could see looked something akin to a butterfly or dragonfly. Looking forward to more of the Messier catalog!
Durening end of October I went camping in Glencoe and few times it was clear night sky and.i had my Hauwei p20 smartphone and photographed M45 and got the blue nebulalousity on shots with phone on tripod. I couldn't believe it.that phone camera picked it up. Shots turned out pretty nice with blue colour. Hauwei p20 smartphone is fantastic for astrophotography!
I'm from there
Been there, some black holes there too:)
Oh! tell me about it!
Are you really...? Because I am too...
I'm going back there soon
electra, anyone?
we're glad too!
PS: feel free to help some others find it!
glad you enjoyed it.
I'm looking forward for the clear skies that are forecasted for the weekend to find M45 :)))
So lovely! Thank you!
I remember the first time seeing pleiades, I thought it looked like a rosary. They've been my lucky stars since.
This DSO video should be brought to us by Subaru. ;)
PS: Brady, I'm kind of surprised you don't use a camera with night vision for filming stargazing bits like with John Hurst in this video.
I saw them few minutes ago while looking at the night sky and they look so beautiful
THE RISING STARS....
To the Blackfoot and Otipemisiwak Tribes in Alberta and Montana, the Stars were Known as The Orphan Boys... The Fatherless Boys were Rejected by Their Tribe ..But were Befriended by a Pack of Wolves... Saddened by their Lonely Lives on Earth,..They Asked the Great Spirit to let Them Play Together in the Sky.. So that wish was granted .. and Every Night ... As a Reminder of their Cruelty The Tribe was Afflicted by the Wolves ....HowlIng to Express their Pain at the Loss of Their Friends....
Did see gas and dust there ONCE with binos at dark site. Only lasted a few minutes but it was definitely there. Thought it was thin cloud at first, but then realised there were too many stars for it to be cloud.
I was born in November ,so i love the winter stars,it is said that we and our solar system rotates around the seven sisters ,i love Orion ,betelguise ,his belt and of course the seven sisters u can see them with the naked eye ,their beautiful on a clear cold night.
I had a look at this about 5 hours ago and I got a real good picture with a 60X spotting scope, and then with my telescope it was amazing! (165X)
Great videos. But may be you could try using an IR light for your camera when doing live observations, so that your night vision could be preserved?
I am in absolute awe of this beautiful spectacle; I must buy a pair of binoculars or a telescope soon, or perhaps a camera with decent quality or zoom, inshaAllah ta3ala
Yes, completely. I took images of Jupiter a few month ago with a camera with good zoom. No telescope and not even a SLR, but with a 420mm zoom lens and a sturdy tripod. Everything above 3 SECONDS already left visible streaks. I still managed to see the Galilean moons of Jupiter (compared it with calculated positions to make sure I didn't pick up background stars or camera noise).
But without a automated mount I guess you'll be out of luck with any long exposure.
Anyone can drive up there and see them... I'm not sure you'll get inside them without an arranged tour though!
Peripheral vision required to see these stars
Another great video. I'd love to see one about Mira and the other variable stars.
Hooray! The word "beauty" occurs at 0:27. Far too little attention is paid to beauty and aesthetics. Also to binoculars. The only astronomy I ever did was with binoculars. But to get back to beauty - I think science would never have begun to exist without a human sense of beauty.
You should feature some visual astronomers in addition to the astrophotographers you've been featuring. No picture could beat a 20'' telescope with an amazing eyepiece!
i cant find Pleiades after the winter !! in NY :(
I'm already subscribed to numberphile, but I only just now found this channel for some reason. Subbed!
It's funny though, I've always had a fondness for the Seven Sisters, but I pronounced it Plee-ay-dees. I don't know if I'm wrong or if your pronunciation is just another silly English thing like pronouncing what is obviously uh-loo-min-um as al-yoo-mini-yum. :)
Subaru
Southern Cowboy boots and a half
u follow me dark moon honey
little pleiadian spaceships. subaru legacy saved me many times.
That bull is giving chase, ha ha! One chases the Pleiades, the other the Lorelei. Either way, that love triangle is always haunting me.
7:47 The best part.
Yay! I was waiting for this! Pleiades is my favorite of ALL the things.
4:47. having someone shine a bright light in your face wouldn't help you see it either.
Good stuff, Mr. Haran
100 million years is “relatively young”? I’d consider that to be “undeniably young”
When you put that in geological terms, there were plenty of dinosaurs who were around before this system ever formed. That’s pretty crazy
Thanks for the work you, for sharing it, and explaining it to us.
Very imformative i love this star since 2008
Brady, is all of your footage from Las Palmas from one visit, or from multiple visits?
I went out this morning at 4:30 to get the morning paper. I looked up and saw Venus and Jupiter. Just above Jupiter, I saw the Pleiades for the first time. What a nice surprise.
Simply awesome.
Beautiful story
3:46 OMG LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND!
Thomas
What is the instrument behind the photo viewer? at 6:54 It reminds me of the Heathkit and Schlumberger products of the mid 1980s. They used similar blue and white cases.
Yey, Thomas photo in the background. I'm a dad who splits his interests between vacuous black metal, steam trains and amature/novice astronomy.
Incredible!
Where I live, the light pollution is pretty bad. The Pleiades star cluster looks like a fuzzy patch.
I've always been interested in taking photos of astronomical objects, but will a 5-minute exposure lead to motion blurring due to the movement of the earth?
Brady, I've always wondered...is the dot in the 'i' in Deep Sky Videos a Messier object? :)
The Pleiades Nebula is a Large Cluster of Star with a Large Cloud of Gas and Dust. And It's a Reflection Nebula. And it's Blue in Color. In Constellation Taurus
The Pleiades are beautiful through this 6" refractor, we got about 5° field of view. Owned and operated by Stavanger Astronomiske Forening, Norway.
That's why I put the word wrong in quotation marks. I know it's not actually wrong, I was just having a lighthearted back-and-forth with Dathadorne.
I was able to pick out nine stars with the naked eye. The additional two were a star just above the end of the handle, and an apparent "star" above the top of the bowl. This "star" is actually two stars , but I couldn't split them with the naked eye. Obviously, I was under very dark skies.
My fav constellation :o
you should make an astrophysics or theoretical physics channel
I was never really that interested in astronomy, until this video came up by a Tarot reading about me being a Pledias Starseed. Man, now I feel like I want to buy myself a pair of binoculars and just stargazing outside of the apartment.
Billy Meier said Pleiadians from star system Pleiades ( 7 Sisters ) are 500 Light years from Earth it takes them 7 hours to Travel 500 LY to Earth Mind boggling
Awesome! Thank you so much! i was always amazed by the sky
i'd really appreciate if you put subtitles on your videos.. i'm not a native speaker and some parts are not clear to me
BRILLIANT
May I ask you is there anything special about CorTauri(Alphastar?)? Why if one tries to calculate the distance from an (university) telescope one (ok, that's me!) gets different distances? is there a possibility of a konkave time sheet inbetween (String th) that makes it everytime different?
Is sirius and the sun not a part of the Pleiades?
What kind of binocular are you using?
NOAH'S ARK & DOVES
Pleistocene Epoch from
The Pleiades Cluster, or Hole
Andromeda to Milky Way

Easy to find...I always it by first finding Orion then scanning right and up....as a kid I didn’t know what it was called, so I had my own little nick name for it..I called it ‘The little saucepan ‘ 😂😂... great informative video 😊
Love to watch them and sometimes the group of stars is moving around the big central one
TAURUS TOO
I'M PERFECT FOR A NICE ONE
I wish I could see those stars like the pictures show them
There is a great Library on Celaeno.
