Coolsisters of the Month


Actually, these gals - the Pleiades - are pretty hot as they are a cluster of stars (very obvious to the naked eye) in the constellation Taurus, and prominent in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere and in the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. They have been known since antiquity to cultures all around the world. The nine brightest stars of the Pleiades are named for the 7 Sisters of Greek mythology: Sterope, Merope, Electra, Maia, Taygete, Calaeno, and Aycyone. We dressed them up a bit.
