Open star clusters Hyades (left) and Pleiades (right), in the constellation of Taurus.

A portrait of the two groups of half-sisters related in mythology as daughters of Atlas: the Hyades, at left, and the blue Pleiades, at right, two nearby open star clusters in Taurus. The bright star is Aldebaran, the eye of Taurus.. This area of the sky is filled with dust which colours the sky in shades of brown and blue.
