		More famed as the "Seven Sisters," in mythology daughters of Atlas, the cluster sparkles with a jeweler's collection of blue-white diamonds packed into a circle a little over a degree across.
		Nine of the stars carry ancient Greek proper names, those of the seven maidens plus that of Atlas himself and of the sisters' mortal mother, Pleione.
		All nine are bright and luminous B stars, Alcyone apparently somewhat evolved (considered a "giant"), and though (at nearly 13,000 Kelvin) not the hottest, quite markedly the brightest, having a luminosity 1400 times that of the Sun, the 365-light year distance of the group reducing Alcyone to bright third magnitude.

		In ancient mythology, the dimmest of the stars there was named Merope, but today it is called Asterope or Sterope (it switched it's name with a different one).
		Merope means eloquent (with op meaning voice), Sterope means lightning or stubborn face (with op meaning face), and Asterope means star eye (with op meaning eye).
		However, since the stars are the eyes of the Shadow Children, I think this could relate to the name Asterope (Star Eye).
