RE: The Pleiades - Messier 45

in #steemstem6 years ago

Nice work Kevin, some of the recent work with Gaia also confirms that the Pleiades is indeed a physical star cluster with a spherical distribution. An observer on a planet within the Pleiades would have an extraordinary vista with multitudes of stars as bright or brighter than Venus in the sky.

Thank you very much Terry :-)
I tried to make something like a 3D visualization but I failed. I need to learn first how to work with Blender and how to use the Gaia data.
The view to the night sky on such a planet within the Pleiades must be great with so many bright stars.

Yeh I was thinking about that myself, but time is the problem!

For me, it is also the knowledge of getting the information out of the data catalog and how to get it Blender.
