That's absolutely gorgeous. I'd be out there every night just watching the sky.

Eh, including pleidaes 3. Orion, Taurus. Assuming it's a constellation and not a star cluster. Subaru might weigh in.

The Pleiades deserves to be its own constellation.

According to ancient Greek mythology, Orion, who was in love with the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione knows as The Pleiades, pursued them, furious that they had rejected him. To protect them, Zeus sent Taurus to defend them from the pursuer and that scene is the one we can see on winter nights in the northern hemisphere: Taurus, the bull, interposing himself between the hunter and the nymphs. This is just one of many versions of the legend, but I think is a nice one that connect astronomy ans mythology.
