Question
When can we see the Pleiades again?
Answer
<P><FONT size=3>Since I don't know where you live, it's hard for me to give you an exact answer to your question. From where I live in Colorado, the Pleiades are currently visible near the western horizon each evening for about an hour after the Sun sets, and will be for another week or so. Generally speaking, the Pleiades are visible in the northern hemisphere in the evenings from approximately October (on the eastern horizon) to April (on the western horizon).<BR><BR>Here's a fun fact-- The Pleiades are not a constellation. The Pleiades are actually located in the constellation of Taurus the Bull. Astronomers call these smaller star patterns <EM>asterisms</EM>.<BR><BR>Thanks for asking this great question!</FONT></P>
