The Pleiades, M45, also known as the 7 sisters.  Now we have left the
Solar System and traveled VERY, VERY far away (almost 1/2 million times
farther than Pluto, the last known "planet" in our Solar System).
This is a star cluster of relatively new stars that apparently drifted 
away from the Orion nebulae (see M42 later on).  In order to see the 
gas around the stars, this image was computer-enhanced (see M1 later on).  
Taken in 12/92, it is about 410 light-YEARS, or almost 2 1/2 quadrillion(!) 
miles away.
