The Seven Sisters: Known already at the very early time of sky observation this overwhelming cluster can be seen with the naked eye in the constellation of Taurus or the Bull. What is harder to see are the phantastic reflection nebulae around the very young hot stars, blowing with their star winds into the gas and dust from which they were born.
