Like a beautiful bouquet of blue birthday balloons and bubbles !
There are hundreds of stars in this constellation, not just the seven or eight normally visible to the naked eye.
OH, I love this one….. the seven sisters! Not surprising the first time I went out to stargaze with a serious amateur astronomer I located the Pleiades with my eyes immediately. (not knowing what it was called) Then when I discovered that the Pleiades is in the constellation of Taurus I thought, “well, there you have it… it’s *home!* (Because I am a Taurus!) So, now I look up at them and smile and say ‘some day I’ll be back home.’
