- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoDo you mean the Pleiades?
- wizzwizz4 2y agoYes, the Pleiades, which consists of 6 bright points of light in the sky, yet is still called the "Seven Sisters" (or "Seven Brothers", or similar). Some mythologies tell us what happened to the seventh, while others leave the discrepancy unresolved – or else, those stories do not survive.
