The Pleiades (Messier object 45 or M45) star cluster. A previous nomination of this image for Commons Featured Picture failed when the image we had was a much smaller size. This larger version is featured on 4 languages of Wikipedia. There are annotations on this image which add to its encyclopedic value. M45 is approximately 400 light years from Earth and includes approximately 3,000 stars.
