Tonight at midnight, the Pleiades star cluster (M45) will be visible directly overhead in the constellation of Taurus the Bull. Although best seen from a dark location, many of the stars in this cluster are bright enough to observe from the city. This is an open star cluster filled with hot blue stars that are most likely very young – forming within the last 100 million years.
