"The freeware Starnet GUI works its magic on the Pleiades asterism bringing out detail in the the reflection nebulae. This group of young hot blue stars is currently passing through a cloud of interstellar dust which reflects the starlight. The Pleiades or the Seven Sisters is a relatively close open cluster of stars and is estimated to be some 444 light years distant from the Earth. The data for the image was captured at the Jodrell Plank Observatory in 2018"-. George Hammer resident geologist at he Jodrell Plank Observatory.
