The Seven Sisters
The Seven Sisters
Who could forget the Pleiades, the legendary star cluster known as "Y Saith Chwaer,," or "The Seven Sisters"? In ancient lore, these seven brilliant stars are said to be the daughters of the mighty Titan Atlas. With Atlas bound to his eternal task of holding up the sky, his daughters were transformed into stars to escape the relentless pursuit of the fearsome hunter Orion. Even now, they dance gracefully across the heavens, a glowing tribute to sisterly love and unity. Yet, whispers of an ancient tale suggest that one sister fell in love with a mortal and slipped into hiding, which is why we only see only six stars now gleam in the night, leaving the seventh cloaked in mystery.
Notes : While the name 'Seven Sisters' may suggest there are only seven stars, there are actually over 1,000 stars in the cluster, with only six usually visible to most people with the naked eye.
