Star Cluster Pleiades Size:24" x 16" (61 cm x 41 cm) Images taken using filters sensitiveThe brilliant stars seen in this image are members of the popular open star cluster known as the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters. The Hubble Space Telescope's Fine Guidance Sensors refined the distance to the Pleiades at about 440 light years. The Fine Guidance Sensors are at the periphery of Hubble's field of view. They trace a circumference that is approximately the angular size of the Moon on the sky. They are overlaid on this image to give a scale to
