Today's #APOD is a #stunning #picture of M45 / the #Pleaides / the 7 sisters. We use to see M45 with the bright stars dominating the #photography, but this #image is so #sharp that the #stars are small and point-like, which highlight the dust cloud they are illuminating.
But did you know that the cloud is (likely) unrelated with the 7 sisters ?
