Recent research has revealed that three well-known star clusters — the Orion Nebula Cluster, the Pleiades, and the Hyades — are linked in a cosmic family tree. Though these clusters appear distinct ...

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

A recent study suggests a shared origin for the Orion Nebula, Pleiades and Hyades, challenging previous astronomical theories ...

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.

The Hyades star cluster is the closest star cluster to Earth, located only 150 light-years away. Viewers can spot the star cluster by looking for the tall, Y-shaped constellation Taurus, the bull ...

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 ...

New moon in the arms of the old. As dawn arrives over North America on Friday morning, July 29, the view of the Hyades will be enhanced by a thin, waning crescent moon, 21 percent illuminated ...

The Hyades is the closest open star cluster to Earth. It is visible in the night sky in the horns of the constellation Taurus, the bull. A. Mann/McDonald Obs./DSS ...
