How to find the Pleiades. Pleiadians: inhabitants of the star cluster - Pleiades
(135 parsecs)
Pleiades(astronomical designation - M45; sometimes the proper name is also used Seven sisters, antique Russian name - Stozhary or Volosozhary) - open cluster in the constellation Taurus; one of the closest open clusters to Earth and one of the most visible to the naked eye.
History of discovery
The Pleiades are clearly visible in winter in the northern hemisphere and in summer in the southern hemisphere (except Antarctica and its environs). The site has been known since antiquity to many cultures around the world, including the Maori and Australian Aborigines, the Japanese and the Sioux of North America. Some ancient Greek astronomers considered it as a separate constellation. They are mentioned by Hesiod, and in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The Pleiades are mentioned three times in the Bible (Job 9:9, 38:31; Amos 5:8). Nowadays in astronomy, the Pleiades are usually identified as an asterism, although in some countries open star clusters (including the Pleiades) are not recognized as asterisms.
The Pleiades have long been known as a physically connected group of stars, and not the result of a random projection of stars at different distances. The priest John Mitchell calculated the probability of a random projection of so many bright stars to be 1 in 500,000, and correctly surmised that the Pleiades and many other star clusters must be physically connected. When the first measurements of the relative velocities of stars were made, it was discovered that their proper motions were very close, indicating that they were physically connected.
Distance
Measuring the distance to the Pleiades cluster is a fundamental method for calculating the scale of the Universe as a whole. The exact value of this distance allows us to construct a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for the specified cluster, which, in turn, in comparison with the unknown distances to other clusters, allows us to give them some estimate. Using other techniques, it is possible to extrapolate the specified rating scale from open star clusters to galaxies and galaxy clusters, constructing a cosmic distance scale. Ultimately, astronomers' knowledge of the age and evolution of the Universe depends heavily on knowing the distance to the Pleiades star cluster.
Compound
The Pleiades star cluster is about 12 light-years in diameter and contains approximately 1,000 counted stars, many of which are multiples. Estimated, total number There are about 3000 stars in the cluster. Among the members of the cluster, hot blue stars predominate, 14 of which are visible naked eye(depending on observation conditions from Earth). The arrangement of the brightest stars is in some way similar to the arrangement of stars in Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. The total mass of the cluster stars is supposedly equivalent to 800 solar masses.
There are a large number of brown dwarfs - stellar bodies with a mass of less than 8% of the Sun, which is not enough to cause a nuclear chain reaction. Brown dwarfs make up about a quarter of the number of stars that form the Pleiades cluster, and about 2% of the cluster's total mass. Brown dwarfs from young star clusters (such as the Pleiades) are of constant interest to astronomers, since they are still bright enough for observations.
In addition, the cluster contains several white dwarfs. Due to the relatively small age of the cluster, the stars were unlikely to have the opportunity to evolve into white dwarfs in the “usual way,” since such a process usually takes several billion years. It is believed that high-mass stars in binary star systems, due to the emission of matter to their companions, turned into white dwarfs within a short time.
Age and future development
The probable age of star clusters is approximately determined by comparing the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for these clusters with a theoretical model of stellar evolution. Based on this technique, the age of the Pleiades ranges from 75 to 150 million years. This scatter is caused by a large number of inaccuracies in the theory of stellar evolution. In particular, the calculation for a model in which the phenomenon is present convection overlap, in which the convection zone of the star penetrates into its stable zone, gives a larger value for the age of the system.
Another method of approximating the age of a star cluster is based on studying the cluster objects with the smallest masses. In “ordinary” stars, lithium rapidly decays in nuclear fusion reactions, but brown dwarfs can retain lithium in their mass. Due to their low ignition temperature (2.5 million K), massive brown dwarfs will burn up lithium over time. By calculating the mass of the heaviest lithium-bearing brown dwarfs, we can get an idea of the age of the star cluster they belong to. Based on this technique, the age of the Pleiades is estimated at approximately 115 million years.
Like most open star clusters, the Pleiades will eventually cease to be a gravitationally bound structure, since the stars in it are moving faster than the escape velocity of the entire cluster. According to preliminary estimates, within 250 million years the Pleiades will disintegrate; the influence of gravity from molecular clouds and spiral arms of the galaxy will only speed up this process.
Reflection nebula
Under ideal viewing conditions, long-exposure photographs show some evidence of nebulosity around the Pleiades cluster. It is a reflection nebula reflecting the blue light of hot young stars.
Previously, it was generally accepted that the dust that forms the nebula is the remnants of star-forming material. However, within 100 million years, such matter would be dispersed by the pressure of stellar radiation. Obviously, the cluster is simply located at the moment of its movement in a region of interstellar space saturated with cosmic dust.
A study of this reflection nebula showed that the dust in it is not evenly distributed, but is concentrated in two layers along the line of sight of the Pleiades. These layers could have been formed by deceleration caused by the radiation pressure of cluster stars moving towards the dust cloud.
Observations
The nine brightest stars of the cluster received their names in honor of the seven sisters of the Pleiades of ancient Greek mythology: Alcyone, Keleno, Maya, Merope, Sterope, Taygeta and Electra, as well as their parents - Atlas and Pleione. According to astronomical tradition, "Celeno" and "Alcyone" are pronounced "Celeno" and "Alcyone" respectively.

Pleiades in different cultures
Due to the fact that the Pleiades constellation was clearly visible to the naked eye, it occupied a special place in many cultures, both ancient and modern. In Ancient Greece, the Pleiades personified the mythological sisters of the Pleiades, from whom they received their modern name. To the Vikings they were Freya's seven hens, which is why in many European languages they are compared to a hen with chicks.
Intelligent beings from the planetary system of the Alcyone Star, which is located in the Pleiades - a star cluster in the constellation Taurus (Greek Pleides - seven daughters of Pleione and Atlas) - have a body very similar to ours, perhaps more perfect, or, if I may say so will be expressed more refined, more elegant, more graceful and harmonious than ours. Through light clothing one could notice that their bodies were not only ideally and proportionally built, but also very muscular, as if filled with powerful strength from within.
This was even more impressive because the vast majority of my Pleiadian friends, or as they call themselves - Herrians (from the name of the planet of their main habitat - Gerra), were much taller than me - although I myself do not belong to the small ten and my height is 1m 85cm. Almost all of them, with the exception of only a few of the inhabitants, whom they called “guests,” had a European type of face with the same light, but more elastic, thin skin as ours.
The guests were somewhat shorter than me or the same height as me, but their skin color varied from yellow-gray and fiery red to dark brown, like the representatives of our Negroid human race. In one of the super-huge laboratories, in which tests were carried out on the processes that precede the birth, formation and disappearance of Universes (only, of course, on a much smaller scale), I was introduced to some of the guests - very specialists high level, which arrived from the Sirius system.
Their Star Sirius-A, which is many thousands of times brighter than our Sun, is the main of the main Stars of this system, performing the functions of a Portal or Gate connecting one dimension of Space-Time with others. It has very powerful radiation and the processes occurring on it and in it greatly influence the course of events here on Earth.
Unfortunately, I did not remember their names, but they were all from that civilization of Sirians, whose representatives who visited us on Earth at different periods of our history are usually called “gods from Sirius.” Basically, these gods have a much darker skin color than the true Gerrians, but, in addition, there are also many purely external differences between them, which are explained by the fact that in their genotype there are genes belonging to non-human intelligent races, which, being mammals, were more like our reptiles or insects.
It was these genetic roots that determined all the differences by which the “guests” could immediately be distinguished among any number of Pleiadian-Gerrians dear to my heart. True Gerrians, purely outwardly, are indeed very similar to us earthlings, in any case, to a much greater extent than any of the representatives of other cosmic civilizations with whom I have had to communicate so far.
Of course, I do not mean our internal differences - both purely physical and spiritual - which are imposed by the characteristics and differences in the realities around us. But they also once, albeit a very long time ago, went through in their internal sensations approximately the same thing that you and I are now just trying to go through. Therefore, so much brings us together and connects us not only externally, but also internally.
As Ora, who accompanied me on my journey around the planet, explained to me, these qualities of the current Pleiadian-Gerrians - tall stature and muscularity - were formed due to the Life of many, many generations of this civilization on a planet with much greater forces of gravity and electromagnetic field than on Gerra. But on the other hand, they also have such qualities as good nature, cordiality, as well as their constant spiritual need and readiness to help someone at any moment, to give their Love, care and warmth of their Soul, or at least to be useful to someone in some way. then - they are absolutely not inferior to their external beauty and their powerful, truly “inhuman” strength.
Their ultra-finely structured emotional bodies were able to form harmoniously only thanks to their constant focus on care, on avoiding the invasion of negativity in their Life in any of its manifestations. They proved by their own example to many of the other civilizations, also belonging to the Pleiades star cluster, that with the help of constant suppression in themselves negative qualities any civilization can achieve the predominance of a positive process in its evolutionary growth and spiritual development.
This direction of evolutionary development is significantly different from our earthly bias, which is based on the desire of most people on Earth to gain internal neutrality (at best!), as one of the constituent parts of Harmony. But our problem is that in search of this “middle” we often brush aside not only obvious negativity, but also the development of emotional positivity in ourselves. Our pathological tendency to divide everything and everyone is the true cause of many of our endless problems. But let's return to Guerra.
The hair color of those of the inhabitants of Guerra with whom I had to communicate during my astral travel varied from wheat-yellow or almost white to light brown, and for some residents even chestnut. But from the very first moments of our acquaintance, I was literally struck by their very expressive eyes, which, upon closer and more careful examination, not only differed from human eyes in shape, size and color of the iris, but, as I found out a little later , and by its unique abilities to reflect and refract rays of Light.
None of the physical and even astral forms of man has anything similar that could emphasize our divine origin to such a great extent. Even the most beautiful human eyes would seem fishy and expressionless compared to theirs. Yes, how far we are from them and how imperfect! They also say that we are created in their image and likeness... Yes, we are just faded ghosts compared to them!
Noticing the despondency that gripped me about this, the girl accompanying me named Ora smiled absolutely charmingly and, waving her hand, immediately materialized in space the phantom of one of the Pleiadians, who smiled at me in a friendly manner and, putting his right hand to his heart, greeted me. This Pleiadian, who appeared literally out of nowhere, immediately seemed to me something close and very familiar. Perhaps I already communicated telepathically with him on the Contact Beam?
Before I even had time to think about it, Ora telepathized that this beautiful Being, whom I admire so much, is THAT VERY Oris, whom I had never seen before, but who constantly resides not only next to me, but also in me , because, materializing on the astro-physical level of the Earth, it was he, Oris, who spiritualized the Matter of these Plans with his Consciousness, gave me Life and created me as an earthly personality.
I stood dumbfounded by this unexpected meeting and did not even have time to groan when the Pleiadian Oris, approaching me closely to greet me, hugged me by the shoulders and immediately merged with me again. My confused and stupid appearance was probably a very funny sight from the outside, because Ora immediately began to laugh cheerfully and jump slightly in place, clapping her thin, graceful palms, well, exactly the same way as people sometimes laugh - cheerfully and from souls are our earthly girls.
In my opinion, no one, even among the representatives of the Higher Spiritual Beings, has such cheerful, perky, life-loving and spiritual qualities as my “new” Gerrian friends compare favorably with all my wonderful friends on the Ray of Contact. “Just as you and he are essentially one whole,” she telepathized to me, finally having taken a break from laughter, “so Oris is an inextricable part of our civilization.
Wherever we incarnate, no matter what remote areas of our Universe we spiritualize with our presence, we are always connected by invisible threads with our Spiritual Homeland, with our Home, which always help us survive, even in the most difficult conditions. Wherever we “die”, disincarnating from the Matter of the Plans we created, we always return here, to our home, where everyone knows each other, everyone loves each other and always looks forward to the return of each of our Brothers or Sisters. From now on, this is your Motherland, your Home, where you will always strive, because you are one of us!”
Ora, continuing to smile charmingly, put her palm on my Heart and I immediately felt such an all-encompassing Love for everything around me, which I had never experienced for anyone before. Many, many of the hundreds and thousands of incarnations of Oris instantly flashed through my deep memory and I literally physically, with my whole being, immediately felt my integrity and indissolubility with that World, which, as it seemed to me, I had just visited for the first time, but about which, as it turned out, he already knew so much.
They, that is, this civilization, are subject to the same Universal Laws of the Cosmos as we are, and the material forms of expression of the Spirit in the gross Matter of the Physical Plane for us and for them are very similar to each other. But the very dimension of their densest Plan, the vibration frequency of their “physical” Matter, and therefore its properties, turned out to be completely different from what we have on Earth. By the way, their entire existence, in terms of intensity or creative activity, takes place mainly not on the third, like ours, but on the fourth and fifth levels of Matter density, which also have a much larger number of time ordinates than the same levels of earthly Space.
Our flora and fauna, but only in general terms, are also very similar, if you do not take into account that not only every animal, but also every plant has a much greater degree, so to speak, of “intelligence” and self-expression, than here on Earth. Several tens of thousands of years ago, this civilization even had its own colony on Earth. I even remembered that the greeting in their telepathic language sounds like “ealaado”. It occurred to me: doesn’t the Greek “Hellas” mean the same thing - “hello!” or "hello!"? The names of those with whom I had the opportunity to personally telepathically communicate during the trip sounded something like this: Ora, Aalan, Adoniezis, Goara, Woodok.
Their Evolution, which began billions of years earlier than ours and took place in completely different space-time conditions, in contrast to the Evolution of earthly humanity, which suffered from spiritual convulsions and numerous cataclysms, was carried out much more quickly, and the main root cause of their spiritual and intellectual ascent was the unrelenting Will to victory above degenerative and destructive forces, as well as awareness of the need to rise above all weaknesses caused by the forced loss of internal balance.
Their concept of Freedom, in contrast to our perverted and selfish, earthly understanding, is completely devoid of negativity and the state of balanced bliss and harmony in which they all reside is strengthened by their deep inner world, harmony and that healthy certainty that is imparted to them by the boundless confidence that AS THEY SERVE THE HIGHEST, SO THE HIGHEST SERVES THEM.
This is what the radiant Goara, who accompanied me on this astral journey, telepathized on this occasion: “We are fused into one with the Almighty Will of the Creator, which, being the disseminator of Love and life-giving Light, is also the balancing dynamism of all the instincts that the various dimensions offer on the experimental Planes of Existence.
Our science, like our Wisdom, are the fruits of our Will and the aspiration to possess the Knowledge and Secrets of the Primary Elements that form the basis of both Creations, as well as those that dominate the corresponding anti-degenerative Forces of the Cosmos and all the dynamisms that structure the numerous aggregate levels of atomic and subatomic vibration frequencies that are used the so-called Archangels, Cherubim, Seraphim and Thrones."
They help us not only because they are our ancestors and great-descendants at the same time, but also because they live and act according to the Law of Love for their neighbor. There is no need to think that they have already solved all their problems and are now just enjoying the perfection they have achieved. Probably, they not only have no fewer problems, but even much more than you and I, but they solve them completely differently, strictly adhering to the Seven Universal Laws of the Cosmos and avoiding open conflicts with other, more cruel and aggressive civilizations in the same Pleiades.
From communicating with them, I realized that in the Cosmos surrounding them there are still some red-haired races or civilizations, distinguished by extreme aggressiveness and rebellious unrestrained morals. The experience they gain is based on constant conflicts, eternal disagreement with everyone and the constant desire to prove to everyone and everything that they are right and have exclusive knowledge of the Truth. From the voluminous “live” pictures that were shown to me, I concluded that that type of red-haired Pleiadians is much shorter and “thinner,” so to speak - much skinnier than any of my giant friends, but their ambition and conceit, nevertheless less, do not borrow.
Telling me about herself, Goara also telepathized that, at one time, part of the Consciousness of this irrepressible and passionate by nature race was embodied in earthly bodies, thereby giving rise to a red-haired human hybrid, distinguished from other people of the Earth by its characteristic assertiveness, ardor and uncontrollability, capable of driving these people literally to madness if the obstacles in their path become insurmountable.
The beautiful Goara also showed me several other types of civilizations that arrived from other constellations, in particular from the constellation Lyra, and now also inhabit some planetary systems of the Pleiades, which are very similar in appearance to birds and cats, but which, nevertheless, differ much more development of intelligence compared to us earthlings. Next to them, we would look like little children in the presence of adults.
If bird-like humanoids are distinguished by extreme restraint, coldness and dispassion, then cat humanoids are more gentle and sensual by nature, although the characters of both are far from angelic. Goara noted that she showed all this to me only so that, thanks to my stories about them, the people of Earth would understand that, just as we humans cannot be judged in general, so the Pleiadians who are in contact with earthlings cannot be reduced to everyone." “one size fits all,” so great is the range that distinguishes them on the basis of spirituality, rationality and peace-lovingness, both in relation to their own kind and in relation to other cosmic civilizations.
Of course, our spiritual Teachers could help us in solving all our problems on a much larger scale, but according to Cosmic Laws they do not have the right to forcibly interfere with the natural development and maturation of the Consciousness of earthly humanity within the Material Creation. We, earthlings, must ourselves find the right solutions and ways out of dead-end situations into which we drive ourselves, not wanting to admit that the driving Force of Evolution is not so much Reason as Love, or rather, their balanced combination.
Therefore, their civilization is limited only to invisible help, the essence of which is that their crews spaceships make great efforts to constantly bring into a state of equilibrium and balance the balance of forces that we, people, with our barbaric attitude towards Nature, are increasingly and increasingly taking out of the norm.
Many of the people with whom they maintain constant telepathic contact were specially incarnated on Earth from the Pleiades in order to create here direct energy-information channels for connecting Consciousnesses from their civilization with the humanity of the Earth. Many of these people, when the time comes for active inclusion in the general work, in one way or another learn about their extraterrestrial origin, while others only suspect about it and, nevertheless, feel positively motivated through the awareness of their belonging to a highly spiritual civilization and therefore with joyfully join those who clearly know about their extraterrestrial origin, forming together with them contact groups and selflessly helping each other.
No other goal is capable of uniting people who did not know each other so closely as the awareness of their common belonging to a distant cosmic homeland, the memory of which is stored only deep in the subconscious. Personally, I cannot, without tears of heartfelt emotion, observe the selfless devotion of the embodied extraterrestrials, who voluntarily sacrificed themselves for the sake of saving deeply fallen humanity.
In August 1997, through the Ray of Contact, I received information from my Teachers that there are quite strong groups of human contactees with the Pleiades in Zurich and Vienna, and there is also the main part of the Consciousnesses from the Pleiades and Sirius, specially embodied to assist in the unfolding missions by me. Therefore, I was not at all surprised when it was from Switzerland that readers immediately and enthusiastically responded to the appearance of my first book in the “Life Between Lives” series.
Nowadays, the bulk of my entire “support group” is concentrated in this country, consisting of wonderful, altruistic and infinitely kind embodied Consciousnesses of the Pleiadians and Siriusians. Who are they and how can they be recognized among the multi-million crowd of INHUMANS surrounding us? These are those who live in organic harmony with the Commandments of Christ.
They are never ministers or politicians in power, nor high-ranking church ministers, supposedly in charge of divine manifestations, because all this is an expression of justice and love only in our purely earthly understanding, poisoned by false piety and selfishness. The civilization from the Pleiades has three so-called strong points or space stations in the Space of our planet, where they fly at certain periods of Time.
One of these stations is located over the territory of Russia (Ural Mountains), the second - over Switzerland (Alps), and the third - over South America (periodically this station drifts to the territory of the United States and then back). They are located approximately at an altitude of about 6-7 thousand kilometers above the solid surface of the Earth, and each of these stations is about 35-50 kilometers long and is capable of leading a completely autonomous existence for very long periods of time.
In their design, these stations are very different from each other: the one that “hangs” over Russia, slightly drifting from the Ural Mountains to the borders Eastern Siberia, has a more elongated configuration in Space than the “Swiss” space station, consisting of four absolutely transparent spheres, each with a diameter of about 15 km. Three auxiliary production spheres, with the help of long corridors of 5-6 km each, are connected at an obtuse angle with a central, larger sphere, in which, in addition to the command post, there are huge rooms for rest and rehabilitation of service personnel, as well as compartments. garages for shuttle ships of 2-5 orders.
This entire transparent structure occupies a volume of about 125,000 cubic kilometers in the fourth level of Earth Space! Their shuttle vehicles, controlled by the Intermediaries of the first and second orders or the biorobots created by them, we can see or photograph only when the continuously moving hyperenergy shield that surrounds each of the spaceships, like an invisible ball, is removed.
Hyperenergy has the remarkable property of significantly accelerating the movement of particles of Matter, as a result of which its contours cannot be captured either by the human eye or by other means available to us. By the way, during one of the mental exits, I received information that at a distance of about 90 thousand kilometers from the Moon, in its orbit, there is another starship station of one of the civilizations located in the constellation Leo, in the Zeta planetary system.
On board this station there are constantly about 80 humanoids, short in stature (from 1 to 1.5 m) and very frail in appearance, who have at their disposal 28 aircraft of the third and fourth orders, shuttle type, with crews consisting mainly of biorobots. The purpose for which they visit Earth and study people is one: here they try and hope to rediscover genetic aspects that were lost a long time ago as a result of transformation, in order to try to reintegrate them into their genotype, otherwise they are doomed to evolutionary failure.
Among earthlings they are looking for Consciousnesses belonging to one of the civilizations of the Vega constellation, which were able, even through hundreds of earthly incarnations, to preserve their original DNA in the cells of the protein-nucleic acid complex, although already self-improved and adapted to a new, more perfect earthly form. We, the people of Earth, who are an excellent mixture of several galactic races, carry within ourselves, in our physical bodies, all the information about our cosmic past, which for some of the aliens, who have lost the emotional and other aspects of their existence, is the key to their future.
This is a truly priceless heritage that we received, as they say, “for free” and therefore we do not realize all its true value as for ourselves. and so for the entire Universe. That is why we are so ruthless and cruel towards our own kind, and if it were not for the timely and effective invisible assistance in smoothing out critical situations provided to humanity from the outside by other Higher Ones space civilizations, we would not have been able to exist here a long time ago due to strong radioactive radiation and environmental pollution.
Radioactive exposure, which has increased hundreds of times in recent years due to rampant and uncontrolled pollution environment, has already caused much more severe damage and destructive mutation of the cells of our physical bodies than is imagined by our doctors and scientists. Some dangerous processes in cells begin to enter the stage of irreversibility.
The immune system is becoming more and more unstable, which has led to the emergence of new dangerous diseases, of which AIDS is only the first sign of the approaching difficult trials of humanity. New diseases of humanity will be associated with destabilization of the energy of the astral body, which will have a very painful effect on the condition of the internal organs.
Environmental pollution and amplification background radiation First of all, they will affect the skin of people. Many beneficial insects and birds will disappear, including bees, with the disappearance of which humanity will deprive itself of such valuable medicines as honey, propolis, bee jelly and bee venom. Last years humanity that has gone crazy has the opportunity to enjoy garlic, onions, honey and many other valuable natural healing products, which very soon will cease to exist altogether on the mortally stricken Earth.
On the part of the Pleiadians and Sirians, aircraft are used with great caution and only for the purpose of obtaining cellular material of plants, animals and humans from the Earth to determine the scale and degree of danger of our thoughtless destruction of the surrounding world. Since all their UFOs operate on hyper-energy, they also place an additional load on the energy balance of Space. Therefore, they interrupt their research phases on Earth for long periods.
I have already written that the very Life of this civilization, its reality and the very vibrational state of the Pleiadians exist in a completely different Space-Time, different from ours. Therefore, it is simply impossible to describe their life from the standpoint of our understanding - they only have something in Space that is very vaguely reminiscent of our Physical Plan. During my travels in the etheric body, I saw houses of unusual architectural form: the general impression of a synthesis of several pyramids, but not with smooth surfaces, but with various projections, compartments, etc.
Abundant, continuously changing dark emerald green vegetation (grass, shrubs and trees) fills the entire space between the structures. Both the external and internal walls of buildings, as well as the floor and even the staircase connecting several floors of the house with gentle wide steps, seem to be composed of parallelepipeds and cubes of various sizes, the structure resembling volumetric glass, very tightly fitted to each other and having no seams, no gaps at the joints.
There are also no metal building frames, which further strengthened the impression that all these houses were simply glued together from some very light snow-white, bluish and lilac blocks. Although the houses give the impression of being transparent, it is impossible to see from the outside what is happening or what is inside the structure. The walls are also impenetrable from the inside, although they completely let scattered sunlight (or the energy of another radiation source) pass through them, so there were no windows in these walls either.
In order to see something located outside the building, you just had to approach any of the cells, concentrate on the desire to see the “street” and it would immediately dissolve, providing the opportunity not only for an excellent overview, but also for hearing all the sounds. As soon as the need for this disappeared, the cell immediately appeared again, dense and voluminous. The light itself was dazzlingly white, without the golden hue characteristic of our sunlight, and created a slightly cold feeling. Although it was located quite low above the surface, neither heat nor any discomfort was felt.
Roofs, in our understanding - gable or dome-shaped - were also nowhere to be seen: instead of a roof, the entire structure at the top ended in the same transparent-looking cell blocks. Each house has several main (public) entrances and exits, about 10 m high and 5-6 m wide, located in different parts of it.
But such an opening can only be discovered by approaching it at a distance of at least 5 m: one of the blocks suddenly disappears, as if dissolving in Space, and when you enter the room, it silently acquires density again. Each “apartment” also has an individual opening cell. There are no doors, bolts or locks familiar to our houses.
There is very little furniture: almost everything that is not a permanent item is hidden in blocks and appears at the first request in the same way as the entrance to a building: the block loses its density and opens access to its contents. Inside the building, almost all the objects had the shape of either an oval, or a ball, or a parallelepiped, and the purpose of each of them was completely incomprehensible to me, only the armchairs with high, comfortable backs and soft armrests enveloping the entire body, and tables made up of already familiar, smooth to the touch, the parallelepipeds vaguely resembled at least something earthly.
Unlike wall cells, furniture cells were not transparent, but were practically weightless. The colors of the walls and objects smoothly transition from white to pleasant pastel colors. The white parallelepipeds of the table tops were supported not by legs, like we have on Earth, but by three-dimensional arcs made of the same material. Each of the chairs can react to at least 5-10 types of brain radiation and activates mechanisms associated with the implementation of these radiations.
For example, sitting in a chair, you can instantly recreate around yourself a hologram of your thoughts associated with landscapes, sensations, sounds, and emotions. The images that appear at the same time have characteristics so close to reality that, out of habit, one simply feels uneasy. But the landscapes and pictures of nature that arise in the imagination simply delight the heart: white birch trees, slightly shaking their green braids, quietly rustle over the cliff of a wide emerald-blue river; The birds are chirping cheerfully, the sun is shining brightly, the white caps of the clouds are floating smoothly...
They live according to the Laws of the Cosmos: everyone creates for themselves and at the same time - for everyone. The rules of social and interpersonal relations are based on these same Laws. Misdeeds (in their understanding) of one of the members of society are punished only in moral or spiritual terms, leaving the person who has stumbled to determine the extent of the harmfulness and danger for his spiritual Essence and for society as a whole, the consequences of his mistake, but the death penalty (in our understanding and execution ) They dont have. There is only a voluntary measure to intensively increase the level of spiritual vibrations. They believe that only God the Creator, who gave Life to every cosmic being, can take it back.
Religion, in our understanding of it as public organization or movement, they do not exist - power structures always arise in organizations, on the basis of which fanaticism very quickly grows - the most dangerous and greatest enemy of free Will and Love. We, people, have the opportunity to verify this by the example of the transformation, on the basis of the blind fanaticism of believers, of the most powerful religious Egregors from those initially created as spiritual energy structures - into spiritually corrupting Consciousness, demonic Egregors.
I was (for the umpteenth time!) warned that in Space there are Forces belonging to the “Dark Ring” that are interested in the spiritual capture of humanity on Earth. Moreover, we are talking about Forces of such an intergalactic scale and power that we cannot even imagine. Since the Earth is the weakest link in the entire chain of Worlds in our Solar System and the place of the greatest aggression of Cosmo-Evil, it is considered by the Hierarchy of Dark Forces as a springboard for their subsequent mastery of our entire solar system, and behind it - the entire Galaxy.
The Commonwealth of Civilizations of the “Light Ring” constantly guards our interests, since we ourselves, except for Love and Harmony, which we have practically no left, cannot oppose anything against this Evil. The battle here is not nuclear or hydrogen bombs, but with the help of substances invisible to the physical senses that destroy the human brain and cells of internal organs. But a particularly dangerous weapon is considered to be the generation of waves that suppress the Will and Spirit of man and allow hosts of spiritually and evolutionarily low-developed cosmic Consciousnesses, most often belonging to other, extraterrestrial Worlds or Anti-Worlds, to freely penetrate human forms. If human madness is not curbed in time, then terrible, cosmic-scale consequences can occur.
During parting with representatives of this wonderful HUMAN civilization, I was informed that we ourselves are both the authors and at the same time the executors of the cosmic program of physical and gross astral destruction of all human Consciousnesses lagging behind in their evolutionary development, which will certainly be put into action unless we can get to the right one, spiritual path development.
Will this be in 2013 or even earlier - in 2002?.. The Apostle Peter himself warned about the approaching times: “The day of the Lord will come, like a thief in the night; also, things will burn out on it..." Perhaps each of us should think deeply about HOW HE LIVED and HOW HE LIVES, and not wait for the end, trying in an insane thirst for satisfaction of all our crazy desires to snatch from Life everything that we can It is possible, but in the time remaining before the Transfiguration, you can at least try to make up for what was so frivolously missed in spiritual development in order to create conditions in your field shell for the sound of the highest possible energy vibrations.
I cannot say exactly how long, according to their Pleiadian concepts, I stayed as a guest (or at home?), because with them Time is not measured by external, that is, objective influences dictating, as on Earth, the flow of Time, but only in accordance with their subjective, internal sensations. I was almost blinded by the splendor I saw there, the beauty and that feeling of universal Growth that literally permeated the entire atmosphere of the Space of this amazing planet and its no less amazing inhabitants. Therefore, having returned to the physical body, I could not come to my senses for a long time and continued to mentally remain there until the very morning, going over in my Mind all the nuances of communication with these wonderful people who managed to achieve godlikeness.
At one time, I picked up a lot of photos from the Google sky program
I re-read the stories of Ivan Alekseevich Bunin in my spare time...
“Antonov apples”, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, 1900
“Late at night, when the lights in the village go out, when the sky is already shining high diamond seven star Stozhar, you’ll run into the garden again. Rustle through the dry leaves, like a blind man, you will reach the hut. There in the clearing it’s a little brighter, and the Milky Way is white above your head...”
I was interested... what is this about? diamond seven star Stozhar we are talking. I did a little research on this issue and now... I invite readers of the green pages to get acquainted with some very informative interesting things;-)
PLEIADES – STAR CLUSTER IN THE CONSTELLATION TAURUS
The diamond seven star Stozhar is the Pleiades– the most famous and spectacularly scattered star cluster in the constellation Taurus(astronomical designation - M45). The brightest star is Alcyone(Alcyone – η Taurus / This Taurus). In space, the Pleiades star cluster occupies an area with a diameter of about 15 light years and contains more than 500 very hot and blue stars, many of which are multiples. The total mass of the cluster stars is approximately 800 solar masses.
In the mid-latitudes of Russia, the Pleiades become visible only at the end of summer - rising in the east before dawn. The best conditions for observing the Pleiades occur in autumn and winter, when they rise high above the horizon. The old Russian name for the Pleiades star cluster is Stozhary or Volosozhary (Visazhary).

In the Pleiades, from 6 to 9 of the brightest stars can be distinguished with the naked eye. Interestingly, in ancient Greek mythology Pleiades are seven sisters, ascended into heaven along with their parents, that is, the Greeks counted 9 visible stars in the Pleiades, to whom they gave proper names. I invite readers to get to know them better :-)
Alpion, Alcyone(Alcyone) – η Tau / Eta Taurus / 25 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 2.85 m Alcyone - multiple star. The brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster.
Electra(Electra) – 17 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 3.70 m The third brightest star and the hottest of the 10 main stars of the Pleiades open star cluster.
Mayan(Maia) – 20 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 3.85 m
Merope(Merope) – 23 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 4.10 m
Taygeta(Taigceta) – 19 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 4.30 m Triple star system.
Keleno, Celeno(Celino) – 16 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 5.45 m
Asterope(Asterope) – 2 stars: 21 Tauri with an apparent magnitude of 5.75 m and 22 Tauri with an apparent magnitude of 6.40 m
Atlant, Atlas(Atlas) – 27 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 3.60 m Triple star system.
Pleiona(Pleione) – 28 Taurus. Apparent magnitude: 5.05 m Double variable star.
Please note that on the Mirror of Urania map, star Merope Atlas and Pleione “stand” at a distance from her sisters and her parents; it is interesting that she was the only one who linked her fate with a mortal, marrying the Corinthian king Sisyphus. All other Pleiades became beloved of the immortal gods.
Ancient Greek astronomers considered the Pleiades as a separate constellation. The Pleiades are mentioned by Homer in his inimitable Odyssey and Iliad.
John William Waterhouse(John William Waterhouse; 04/06/1849–02/10/1917) is an English artist whose work is attributed to the later stage of Pre-Raphaelitism.
"Odyssey", Homer, VIII–VII centuries. BC e. (translated by Vasily Zhukovsky, 1849)
The description of Odysseus' voyage from the nymph Calypso to the island of Scheria says:
“...Joyfully, Odysseus strained the sail and, with a fair wind,
Trusting, he swam. Sitting on the stern and with a mighty hand
Turning the steering wheel, he was awake; sleep did not descend on him
Eyes and them he didn’t take him away from the Pleiades, from downward late
In the Sea of Vooth, from the Ursa, there are still Chariots in people
The name of the one who bears and near Orion accomplishes forever
My circle, never bathing myself in the waters of the ocean..."
ANCIENT GREEK MYTHOLOGY: PLEIADES – SEVEN SISTERS
In ancient Greek mythology Pleiades– Hyades sisters – seven daughters Titan Atlas and the Oceanids Pleione: Alpione, Electra, Maya, Merope, Taygeta, Keleno, Asterope. It is not known for what offenses the giant hunter began to persecute the Pleiades Orion... The sisters begged the gods to save them from persecution, and they turned them first into doves and then into stars.
In another version of the myth Zeus instructed the Pleiades to carry ambrosia to Olympus. The road to Olympus was difficult, and on each such trip one of the sisters died. But Zeus did not allow the number of sisters to decrease. Upon his return, he replaced the deceased sister with a new one. Therefore, the number of stars in the Pleiades remained unchanged.

BIBLE: PLEIADES (IN THE NARRATIVE TRANSLATION – HIMA)
Pleiades(in the synodal translation - Hima) are mentioned in the Bible ( Book of Job, 9:8-9, 38:31).
Church Slavonic
...spread out one sky and walk on the sea as on the earth:
create the pliades and espera, and Arcturus and the treasures of the south:
Did you understand Souz Pliad, and did you open the barrier of Orion?

…He alone spreads out the heavens and walks on the heights of the sea;
Created As, Kesil and Hima and the secret places of the south;
Can you tie the knot of Him and loose the ties of Kesil?

LEGENDS OF KURSK PROVINCE: VISAZHARY – PLEIADES
And finally, I invite readers to go on a short journey through the stellar mythology of the peoples of Russia with an amazing book "Under the vault of the crystal sky", by Daniil Svyatsky, published back in 1913.
Star mythology of the peoples of Russia. Chapter II: Pleiades
“It’s time to get up to thresh – Visazhary is already high in the sky” say the peasants of central Russia in the fall, getting up in the morning and looking at the starry sky. "Visazhars" are the Pleiades, the second constellation after Ursa, which is popular among the people. Its Great Russian name is, apparently, a corruption of the Little Russian name of the same constellation "Volosozhary" or "Stozhary". Stozhar it's a haystack; to fry means to pile up, pile up. Volosozhary- this is a bunch, a shock of hair. The Pleiades, indeed, are a group of closely crowded stars in a small area of the sky.
The name of the Pleiades Volosozharami is of very ancient origin. Russian scribes of pre-Petrine times, in those cases when it was necessary to translate the Greek name of the constellation πλειαδες, used the name lice-guzzlers, lust-ghosts…
Regarding Visazhar, Russian peasants had different beliefs and legends. So in the Kursk province they say that the Lord created first all the stars were as frequent as Visazhary and the view of the stars was amazing. But one night people were driving along the road and started talking to each other: “This is how my grandfather and I planted these Visazhars,” and then during this conversation they fell into a deep ravine and were maimed, and the Lord began to beat them from the sky with a whip, saying: “Don’t look across the heavens, look at the wheels.” Since then, cripples have appeared in the world, and stars have become rare, Only one Visazhary was left by the Lord as a frequent memory…
Regarding the Pleiades, there is also a belief that they are inhabited by spirits and on the last day of the new moon they have a holiday. This belief probably arose because during the new moon, in the absence of moonlight, which weakens the brilliance of the stars, the Pleiades group is especially distinguished by its strong brilliance ...

Please take into account that there is no way to admire the Pleiades on a nightingale night :-( At night in the summer, the Pleiades (Visazhary) are not visible! On starry sky Kursk they will appear only at the end of summer - rising in the east on the eve of dawn. The best conditions for observing the Pleiades in Kursk fall in autumn and winter, when the Pleiades rise high above the horizon and shine in all their diamond splendor!
Since you and I have gone on a spree in this article from Greece to the Kursk province :-) and indulged ourselves in the delights of the Kursk nightingale night, I invite readers to look at the green pages:

Creative homework in astronomy
And in conclusion, three problems dedicated to Stozharam – Pleiades, from a wonderful book "300 questions on astronomy" Vasily Fedorovich Orlov.
Task No. 1
A participant in Alexander the Great’s campaign in India (326 BC) wrote: “Rice is grown in India on beds flooded with water... it ripens by the time when the Pleiades set" When did rice ripen in India?
Answer: In the modern era, the Pleiades sets in April. In 2290 years ago it was about a month later, that is, in May.
Task No. 2
“Yellow specks of stars danced across the black canopy of the sky, The workers smoldered overhead. “Midnight,” thought Yefim, touching the latch…” says the story “Mortal Enemy” by Mikhail Sholokhov. The story takes place in the Rostov region, whose average latitude is 47°. Are there Stozhars (Pleiades) at their zenith in the Rostov region?
Answer: The declination of the middle part of the Pleiades is approximately +24°. Highest height they are approximately 67° above the horizon in the middle part of the Rostov region. They cannot be at the zenith.
Task No. 3
“...On the bank of the stream she will lay out a garden and plow it in the spring, but not then, when the Pleiades call the plowman, as the old people say, but on the proper day indicated in the calendar.” Here we are talking about the province of Natal in South Africa (about 28° S). Are the Pleiades visible in these places in spring?
Answer: Spring in the southern hemisphere occurs in September – November. The Pleiades, located in the constellation Taurus, are visible up to 66° S during these months.
I wish you success in self-study astronomy!
§ Excerpts from the works of Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, which reflect certain physical phenomena and which are unique conditions for the questions formulated to them in physics on
« Pleiades constellation- the most famous star cluster. Because Pleiades constellation can be clearly seen in the night sky; it has been known to earthlings since ancient times. First mention of Pleiades constellation found in Chinese chronicles dating back to around 2300 BC. Earliest European sources mentioning Pleiades constellation, is a poem by Hesiod (circa 1000 BC) and Homer's Odysseus."
In Japanese, "Subaru" means "to unite", although the same word refers to a cluster of six stars in the constellation Taurus, named by the ancient Greeks Pleiades.
In ancient times, it was believed that these stars represented the seven daughters of the characters of Greek mythology - Atlas and Plione.
But how can there be seven daughters and only six stars in the constellation? Pleiades?
There are actually seven stars, but only six of them can be seen with the naked eye.
Seven daughters
The names of these seven daughters are as follows: Alcyone The queen who wards off evil. Alcyone is the central and most a big star constellation Pleiades. It is often seen as representing an entire cluster of stars. Asterope Double star in the constellation Pleiades, literally translated as "lightning". Merope The only one to marry a mortal, her star does not shine as brightly as the others. Maya The eldest of seven sisters. They say she is the most beautiful. According to Greek myths, Maia was the favorite of Zeus and gave birth to Hermes. Taygeta After Zeus defiled her into unconsciousness, she went into wanderings. Keleno She was the wife of Poseidon. Translated, her name means “darkness” or “blackness.” Keleno is sometimes called the Lost Pleiad, as this star is sometimes difficult to see with the naked eye. Electra The third brightest star in the constellation. Electra means "amber", "shining" and "bright". This sister was the wife of Coritus. She seduced Zeus and gave birth to Dardanus, who became the founder of Troy.
Pleiades
star cluster Pleiades, also known as Seven sisters And Messier 45, is quite visible in the night sky.
In general, there are hundreds of stars in the cluster, but only a few of them can be seen with the naked eye.
The stars in the Pleiades are believed to have formed about 100 million years ago, making them 50 times younger than our Sun.
These objects are located at a distance of approximately 130 parsecs (425 light years) from Earth.
They are visible in the constellation Taurus, with those close to you celestial coordinates 3 hours 47 minutes in right ascension and +24° declination.
For residents of the northern regions cluster is above and to the right of Orion the Hunter as it emerges to the south, and passes, reaching its highest point in the sky, midway between sunrise and sunset - around 4 a.m. in September, midnight in November, and 8 p.m. in January.
In very good weather conditions, some people see up to 10 stars in a cluster at night.
Thanks to binoculars and a small telescope, it is possible to view a much larger number of stars included in the constellation Pleiades, covering approximately one degree of sky.
At least 300 stars are members of the group, which is located 400 light-years from Earth.
Alien race Pleiadians
Alien race Pleiadians, have existed for a very long time, and their ancestors came in unimaginably long ago from another universe that had reached completeness - unity.Earth Pleiadians visit to help humanity achieve such completeness while on one planet.
The current time period is very important in this regard, and what happens on Earth will affect the entire universe.
Achieving completion involves people understanding who they are and continuing with the experiment.
Ancestors Pleiadians came from a universe that realized itself as a unity, understood that it was inseparable from the Creator, or the First Cause, and was the journey of the Creator through time.
These ancestors came from a universe whose essence was creativity. This is how they realized that they themselves are creators.
These ancestors Pleiadians were among those who founded various worlds, created civilizations, and did it perfectly. The earth was also not ignored by them.
So, it turns out that the ancestors Pleiadians They are also the ancestors of earthlings - our very ancient ancestors.
Allegedly, they shared their DNA with those who worked on the “Original Plan”, and it entered the human genome.
There are countless worlds in the vast expanse of space, and their inhabitants have been visiting the Earth since time immemorial.
Not only Pleiadians helping people, this is just one group of many who want to show a person the right path of development.
Aliens come to our planet for a variety of reasons.
In most cases, highly developed aliens want to help people move to the next level of development, although there are also unfriendly aliens whose tasks are completely different.
Appearance Pleiadians has a humanoid form, more reminiscent of elves and emitting light.
Their average height is higher than human height, their appearance is feminine.
By nature they are friendly and peaceful, inquisitive and calm.
Some of them are able to appear before people only in a shining form, having a white-blue color.
People began to deify the “newcomers from heaven,” like children who look at their parents doing things that children cannot do and idealize them.
The three-dimensional world contains a great challenge, because in such conditions very strict restrictions are possible that form certain structures.
People's participation in this process is creativity for them. A person comes to know himself as a part of the Creator, who, in turn, receives life experience through people.
There is information that Pleiadians advise people to ask questions, to find out more alternative opinions on this or that serious issue.
They warn that only people, and not they, are responsible for their lives and decide which path to choose.
Pleiadians They just give hints, but the final decision is made by the person.
Aliens tell us that answers to questions must be sought in the depths of our souls.
Questions arise in human consciousness, and the answer comes from the very depths of our being.
And to get answers, the first thing you need to do is believe that all the necessary information is actually contained within us!
We observe the most beautiful open star cluster - the Pleiades
Prepared by Malakhov O.
30-01-2007
Beginning in the second half of autumn and ending in mid-spring, mid-latitude observers in Russia can observe in the evenings the beautiful open star cluster Pleiades, also known as Stozhary or M45 (the letter “M” indicates the Messier catalogue), located in the northwestern part of the constellation Taurus. Even people far from astronomy, peering into the starry sky, highlight this beautiful star cluster among other patterns in the starry sky. In particular, the appearance of the Pleiades became in 1988 one of the arguments in favor of the author of these lines’ passion for astronomy. And this is not surprising, because the Pleiades have a characteristic shape, similar to a small ladle with a handle (some people see a small dragon or a diamond in this cluster, others... a trowel - it all depends on human imagination and vision). A person with normal vision can distinguish 6-7 stars in the Pleiades with the naked eye. However, even when observing with 7x prism binoculars on a moonless night, the observer can notice many more of the less bright stars that make up this cluster. A small telescope will reveal to you dozens of Pleiades stars, together presenting an unforgettable spectacle in the eyepiece of your instrument!
The earliest mention of the Pleiades is contained in the famous epic poem “The Iliad” by Homer (circa 750 BC). There are also three references to the Pleiades in the Bible. According to ancient Greek mythology, the Pleiades are also called the Seven Sisters, and the Japanese name for the Pleiades is Subaru. And, indeed, if you look at the corporate badge of a famous car brand, it depicts stars symbolizing this open star cluster.
On March 4, 1769, Charles Messier listed the Pleiades in his famous catalog of nebulae and star clusters under number 45 (M45), published in 1771.
In the mid-19th century, the German astronomer Madler (1794–1874) studied the relative motion of the Pleiades stars, which led to the erroneous conclusion that the Pleiades were the center of a huge star system, the center of which was Alcyone (h Taurus). Later, a more correct explanation was given for the commonality in the movement of the stars of this cluster relative to each other, as a reflection of the Pleiades stars belonging to a single physically interconnected group. Thus, the Pleiades are not by chance, stars gathered in a small square of the sky that are not interconnected in space, but a cluster of stars connected into a single physical system.
Long exposure photographs of the Pleiades show the presence of a gas-dust nebula illuminated bright stars Pleiades, and into which the stars of this cluster seem to be immersed. Due to the illumination by hot stars of early spectral types that are part of the Pleiades, this nebula has a cool bluish glow. The brightest region of this cloud of interstellar gas and dust was discovered on October 19, 1859, around the star Merope. In the NGC catalogue, this nebula is listed as NGC 1435. In 1875, a similar nebula (NGC 1432) was discovered around the star Maya of this cluster. Nebulae around other bright stars in the cluster were discovered in 1880. But the true extent of the Pleiades nebula became apparent between 1885 and 1888, when astrophotography came to the aid of astronomers. Today, with simple photographic equipment, any amateur astronomer can take such photographs of the Pleiades immersed in the nebula.
In 1890, Barnard discovered a star-shaped concentration of matter in this extended nebula near the star Merope, which received the designation IC 349. And in 1912, as a result of spectral studies of the Pleiades nebula, it became finally clear that it owes its glow to the stars of this cluster, since its own spectrum repeats the spectrum of stars illuminating it.
According to modern ideas, the Pleiades nebula is probably a gas-dust cloud that is not associated with this star cluster, but merely floats next to it. Therefore, the nebula is not the “cradle” of stars in this rather young open star cluster, whose age, according to recent estimates, is 100 million years (1/50 the age of our Sun). The disconnection of the nebula and the cluster is indicated by the fact that the clouds of the nebula and the stars of the Pleiades have different radial velocities.
As for the lifespan of the cluster, calculations indicate at least another 250 million years of existence, after which the physical connections between the cluster member stars will weaken so much that each of them will heal independent life.
The Pleiades are located at a distance of 380 light years from the Sun (but this may be an underestimate and in reality the cluster is 440 light years away from us) and consists mainly of stars of spectral class B. Rare stars of spectral classes are also found in the cluster A and K.
Some Pleiades stars have high rotation speeds around their axis, amounting to 150 - 300 km/sec for the upper layers! With such rotation, their shape should take on the shape of a spheroid. The star that rotates most quickly around its axis is Pleione, which is also variable star, changing its brightness from +4.8 to +5.5m. Spectral studies showed that between 1938 and 1952, Pleione's extremely rapid rotation caused the star to eject gas into interstellar space.
It is assumed that there are several white dwarf stars in the Pleiades, which raises a logical question: how can there be white dwarfs in such a young cluster? It is likely that these white dwarfs were once more massive stars, but for some reason, instead of billions of years, quickly evolved over hundreds of millions of years (for example, due to rapid rotation, which led to the loss of matter and, therefore, mass) to the white ones observed today dwarfs.
After 1995, star-like objects - brown dwarfs - were also found in the Pleiades. The fundamental differences between brown dwarfs and ordinary stars largely stem from their small mass (less than 0.07-0.08 solar masses and from 10 to 60 Jupiter masses). This mass is not enough to glow for a long time due to the energy released during thermonuclear reactions. Brown dwarfs “exhale” quite quickly (when the rather rare hydrogen isotope deuterium burns, “igniting” already at a million degrees Kelvin) and lose their initial heat supply (surface luminosity - from three to one and a half thousand degrees and below), but in their mass and method The formations of brown dwarfs are still fundamentally different from giant planets.
In total, there are about a hundred stars in the Pleiades, which are highly concentrated near the center of the cluster. Thanks to this, as well as its relative proximity to the Sun, the Pleiades have such a spectacular view of the celestial sphere.
Brightest star The Pleiades - Alcyone (h Taurus, +2.9m) emits light a thousand times more than our Sun.
The Pleiades can be found in any winter evening about 10° northwest of the bright orange star Aldebaran (a Tauri, +0.8m). At the same time, the ecliptic passes approximately 5° south of the cluster, which means that very spectacular occultations of the Pleiades by the Moon are observed from time to time. In 2007 and in the coming years, we will be able to observe a whole series of such coatings, after which there will be a long break.
Also, from time to time one or another appears near the Pleiades bright planet. Particularly impressive is the passage against the backdrop of a cluster of bright Venus, which happens once every 8 years. Venus was visible against the background of the southwestern part of the cluster in 1988, 1996 and 2004. The next transit of Venus against the background of the Pleiades will be observed in the evenings in early April 2012.
The Sun passes along the ecliptic south of the Pleiades on May 21, so people born on this day can be considered “born under the sign of the Pleiades.”
On the first clear evening, look at the sky and find the Pleiades using
