In Japanese they are called Subaru. Next time you see one of their cars, look at the logo 😉

Its the Pleiades group, or seven sisters. Messier 45 if you’re fancy. A star cluster and interestingly, at 44 4 light years away, the closest star group to Earth.

Ah, that’s a missing texture icon, the devs will patch it eventually.

Directly below and a bit to the right you can see the “V” of Taurus the Bull, who has swallowed the Pleiades Sisters.
Below that You can see the Belt of Orion, and the rest of the constellation – really a very nice pic – including the Hunter’s bow. He is fighting the bull.

There are several good, free apps that will let you just hold up your phone to the sky and identify astronomical items. Pretty fun on a clear night.

The Pliades. There’s some very cool stories about these stars going back thousands of years if you’re willing to search

My favorite, pleiades I can’t see them bare eyes in my country I have to focus on some other stars to see them better, some kind of eye trick I don’t know how to tell.

Idk, but reminded me of the constellation Moana has to follow to find Maui, cool to know it’s based on a real star cluster

Wasn’t there an app that would tell you what you were seeing in the night sky?

When I (corpsman) was with the marine corps, I would look up at these to gain some comfort when we trained at night. I’d be miserable, tired…and I’d stop and just look at…what I thought was a cross, and just be reminded that there is something out there protecting me, looking after me. It was the same on deployment to Afghanistan, no matter how hard the day, how miserable I was, I’d be able to look up and find this cluster and calm down. This was when I thought I was religious, but I still look up to find it when I can, I still love it.

When I was little I always thought that they were one of the dippers just tiny. It’s good to know it’s the plaiedes cluster now though

Fun fact, in german it’s called the “kleiner Wagen” which translates to small wagon. Because of the shape. There is also a big wagon, “großer Wagen” that would be the big dipper.

The Pleiades cluster is one of my favorite objects in the night sky. Viewed with the naked eye, it appears as a tight cluster of six stars (there’s an interesting myth associated with them, and the fact that they’re called the Seven Sisters seems to indicate that one of them is no longer visible to the naked eye as easily). But what takes my breath away is when I view them in a telescope, or even binoculars. You can see a number of stars in this group, not visible to the naked eye. There are a number of open star clusters like this in the night sky, but the Pleiades are the easiest and most spectacular to see!

Looks like 7 stars with our inferior eyes, but if you use binoculars or even a telescope you’ll be surprised at the amount of stars that are crammed into that tiny space on the sky

The Pleiades Cluster

These are the pleiades (Messier 45).
It is an open star cluster.
