	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Pleiades (star cluster)
		It is believed that rather than being individual low to intermediate mass stars, the progenitors of the white dwarfs must have been high mass stars in binary systems.
		Ages for star clusters can be estimated by comparing the H-R diagram for the cluster with theoretical models of stellar evolution, and using this technique, ages for the Pleiades of between 75 and 150 million years have been estimated.
		The nine brightest stars of the Pleiades are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology: Asterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygete, Celaeno and Alcyone, along with their parents Atlas and Pleione.

		Some of the Pleiades stars are rapidly rotating, at velocities of 150 to 300 km/sec at their surfaces, which is common among main sequence stars of a certain spectral type (A-B).
		As it is not only one, it is most certain that these stars are original cluster members and not all field stars which have been captured (a procedure which does not work effectively in the rather loose open clusters anyway).
		The only possible explanation seems to be that these WD stars were once massive so that they evolved fast, but due to some reason (such as strong stellar winds,mass loss to close neighbors, or fast rotation) have lost the greastest part of their mass.

	Taurus
		The Babylonians called it Shur and four of their ecliptic constellations were marked by its stars; while Jensen mentions it as symbolic of Marduk, the Spring Sun, son of Ia, whose worship seems to have been general around 2200 BCE and probably long before.
		The stars were of ill omen to farmers and sailors because the season of storms and heavy rain coincided with the time of their Helical rising and setting (their first appearance after a time of invisibility and their last appearance before becoming invisible again).
		Io is made to roam far and wide before she is restored again to a human being, a fate reflected in the wanderings of the Moon, night after night, among the stars of different constellations.

		These legends seem to be confirmed by a scientific finding according to which a seventh star in the group of the Pleiades became extinct toward the end of the second millennium BC.

	M45, the Pleiades (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Pleiades are one of the finest and nearest examples of a reflection nebula associated with a cluster of young stars.
		The cluster itself is a group of many hundreds of stars about 400 light years away in the direction of the northern constellation of Taurus.
		However, even the brightest of the Pleiades stars (Alcyone, apparent visual mag +2.9) is relatively faint and would be inconspicuous (and nameless) if it were not a member of the cluster The faintest named star is Asterope, (V = +5.8), close to the threshold of naked eye visibility.

		Alcyone, a 3rd magnitude greenish-yellow star is the brightest, and generally taken as a reference point for the group.
		The Pleiades are among the first stars positively identified in astronomical literature, with references as early as the 3rd millennium BC when Alcyone would have marked the vernal equinox - thus, the title 'the Great Year of the Pleiades' is used to describe the cycle of precession which takes about 25,850 years to complete.
