Look up tonight (March 15) to see the Hyades star cluster light up the Taurus constellation in the night sky.
because it's stars are close together in space, yet loosely bound together by their mutual gravity. While the stars formed together around the same time and from the same cloud of dust and gas, the leftover nebula material was blown away and the stars drifted apart, giving them an open, or diffuse, structure.
"Our own sun formed in a cluster like this," according to the NASA statement."Studying these structures helps us understand how stars form and evolve." star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, is another well-known open cluster located in the constellation Taurus. While the Hyades and the Pleiades star clusters are about the same size, measuring roughly 15 light-years across, the Pleiades cluster is about 3 times farther away.
The Hyades star cluster is visible to the naked eye tonight in the first few hours after dark and should be easy to spot in the night sky, given its compact and distinctive shape. While skywatchers will be able to see a handful of stars with the unaided eye, viewers looking to see more stars — up to a hundred or more — will need to use binoculars.
