What Is the “Seven Sisters” Constellation?
Commonly recognized by astronomers as the Pleiades, or Messier 45, according to NASA, the “Seven Sisters” form an open star cluster nestled within the constellation Taurus, rather than being a constellation on their own.
NASA reveals that these stars originated from a shared cloud of gas and dust around 100 million years ago and are still journeying through the cosmos side by side.
While this cluster boasts approximately 1,000 known members, the majority of stargazers can identify just six or seven of its most luminous blue-white stars without the aid of telescopes.
In Greek mythology, the Pleiades are known as the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione, a fact that inspired the cluster’s well-known nickname, according to EarthSky.org.
When Will Mars & the “Seven Sisters” Constellation Be Visible?
Mars will be making a captivating appearance near the Pleiades from around Tuesday, June 23, to Thursday, July 2. The most stunning views will grace the final mornings of June, so be sure to catch this cosmic spectacle!
The red planet will be at its closest visible point to the cluster this Sunday, June 28, with just about 4.3 degrees separating the two.
Mars will initially shine to the right of the Pleiades, then smoothly glide beneath them in the upcoming mornings.

Where Will Mars & the “Seven Sisters” Constellation Be Visible?
The duo will grace the eastern sky ahead of dawn, making it visible to many around the world, as long as the skies are clear and the horizon remains unobstructed.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, finding a spot with an unobstructed view to the east is essential, as Mars and the Pleiades will be positioned low on the horizon during the enchanting morning twilight.
As is the case with all cosmic happenings, seeking out darker spots away from urban glare will unveil the intricate beauty of the cluster’s stars.
How to Spot Mars & the “Seven Sisters” Constellation?
Step outside about an hour before the sun begins to rise and gaze toward the east.
Mars will appear as a consistent reddish-orange dot, while the Pleiades will take on the shape of a small, blurry dipper formed by a cluster of closely packed stars.
Using binoculars is a fantastic idea, as they will significantly enhance your viewing experience, making it much easier to spot the cluster and allowing both Mars and the Pleiades to be seen together in the same field of view.
A stargazing app is your go-to tool for pinpointing the Taurus constellation, ensuring you’re gazing at the right cluster in the night sky.
Happy stargazing!!!
