Summary

[edit]
Description

Within the famous Pleiades open cluster is the star Merope, and near Merope, hiding within its glare, is a bright reflection nebula. Its mountainous peaks and sinuous appearance are likely sculpted by forces radiating from Merope. Oldie but a goodie.

Seems important to note that I removed a large diffraction spike which cut across the upper left of the image.
