Moon Outshines the Stars of the Pleiades, Seven Sisters Constellation
According to SPACE, even though the Moon and the Seven Sisters Constellation met, the moon maintained a respectable distance during their date, with too wide a part to be seen together in the field of view of a telescope. Though using a wider field of view of binoculars, they will be visible together. Moreover, the moon’s brilliance has outshined the Seven Sisters constellation making it fainter and challenging to see.
The Seven Sisters constellation stemmed from Greek Mythology, where the seven brightest stars in the Pleiades were associated with the daughters of Atlas and Pleione. In fact, each of the stars in Seven Sisters Constellation was named after Atlas and Pleione and their offspring.
