M45 pleiades


M45 is an open star cluster located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth, only 455 light years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars is an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium, through which the stars are currently passing.
