The latest research results indicate that these famous star clusters represent the different phases of life of one and the ...

Orion, Pleiades, and Hyades may be stages of one star system’s life, revealing how star clusters form and change.

The Orion Nebula Cluster is just 2.5 million years old. It's full of young stars and gas, actively forming new suns. Pleiades ...

To the upper left from the Hyades is the much more well known star cluster, the Pleiades. This group is more compact, and brighter, although further away (444 light years).

The Hyades system is often used to store the results collected from those facilities, since those labs typically operate with restricted access and store things only for short periods of time.

At 150 light-years from Earth, the Hyades cluster is the nearest star cluster to Earth's solar system and scientists have long wondered if some of those stars are home to alien planets. Now, that ...

There are two 'sister' star clusters in the constellation Taurus the Bull. This week on Looking Up Bruce Bookout introduces us to the five daughters of Atlas... the Hyades. Over the last few years ...
