The Pleiades Connection

The more we look at this cluster the more peculiar it gets.  Overlaying a reflected image of the Pleiades constellation over this map has an interesting correlation.  Four of the top nine brightest stars line up perfectly with four of our points (H, L, N and O).

​

There are two stars close to points M & P.  While they are not a direct match, they are relatively close and sit on their related lines.  

​

Finally the remaining three brightest stars in the Pleiades constellation form an equilateral triangle.  Although they are not in the same spot as our cluster triangle, the orientation is exactly the same with the bisecting line pointing to the same point (K).
