JAMES:
TWO STAR CLUSTERS ARE VISIBLE TO THE NAKED

EYE THIS WEEK.

DEAN:
WE RE TALKING THE PLEIADES, AND THEIR COUSINS,

THE HYADES.

DEAN:
WE HAVE OUR SKY SET FOR 8:00PM FACING EAST.

ABOUT HALFWAY UP IN THE EASTERN SKY YOU CAN
FIND THE PLEIADES AKA THE SEVEN SISTERS.

JAMES:
THE PLEIADES MAY LOOK LIKE A SMALL, FAINT

CLOUD AT FIRST, BUT IF YOU GAZE A LITTLE DEEPER
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PICK OUT 5, 6, OR 7 INDIVIDUAL

STARS IN THE CLUSTER.

DEAN:
TO FIND THE OTHER STAR CLUSTER, THE HYADES,

LOOK FOR A SIDEWAYS,
V-SHAPE OF FIVE STARS BELOW THE PLEIADES.

THIS IS THE FACE OF THE CONSTELLATION TAURUS
THE BULL WITH THE BRIGHT ORANGE STAR ALDEBARAN

MARKING THE EYE OF THE BULL.

JAMES:
THE STARS IN AND AROUND THE V-SHAPE ALSO MAKE

UP HYADES.

YOU CAN FIND BOTH OF THESE CLUSTERS WITH THE
NAKED EYE, AND SWARMS OF STARS WITH A PAIR

OF BINOCULARS.

BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
