Solar Eclipse Live Feed from California via SLOOH
I did a few screen caps and made a gif from the live feed from events.slooh.com where you can catch the last minutes of the solar eclipse.
Las pleiades =)
The Pleiades
The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (also known as Messier object 45 or M45), is an open star cluster named for the daughters of the ancient Greek God Atlas, who were transformed into stars to comfort their father as he held the heavens on his shoulders and is located in the constellation Taurus. The Pleiades contains middle-aged hot B-type stars and it is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
The cluster contains hundreds of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye. The nine brightest stars of the Pleiades are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology: Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygeta, Celaeno, and Alcyone, along with their parents Atlas and Pleione. The stars in the Pleiades are thought to have formed together around 100 million years ago, making them 1/50th the age of our sun, and they lie some 425 light years away.
I can NEVER remember how to spell “Pleiades.” Not sure why. It’s sorta exactly how it looks… But this is an interesting examination of what it is, exactly :)
One of my favorite constellations.
