Mysterious lights under the Pleiades star system and Taurus constellation rising over the Cholla Cactus Garden in Joshua Tree National Park. Did you know that the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) is made up of about 800 total stars about 400 light years from Earth? On a clear night you can usually see the brighter seven stars that rest on the bull’s shoulder. It is said that these stars represent the Seven Sisters, daughters of Atlas and Pleione from Greek mythology. credits: @majestic_flights | Space D
