NASA took this picture of the Pleiades.
Scientists using a telescope “Kepler” has received the rotating stars of the Pleiades. As reported on the website NASA, the stars spin like ballet dancers.
For a long time astronomers could not explain the reasons for such behavior of light. Observations with a telescope “Kepler” has allowed researchers to compile the most complete catalog describing the periods of rotation of all the stars located in the cluster. The obtained information could help scientists determine how stars are formed around planets, and to follow the evolution of the stars.
The constellation of the Pleiades is one of the closest and most easily visible star clusters. It is located at a distance of 445 light-years from Earth. The age of the stars in the constellation, approximately 125 million years, which means that they entered the period of his “early youth”.
