Every time I gaze upon the night sky, I always look for the Pleiades. When I was very young, it was the first thing that I had questioned when looking at the stars. It was faint, but I could see it. I had no idea what I was looking at, or if anyone knew what it was. It was difficult to research as a young child in the early 90’s, but I was determined to find out, and it began the lifelong love I have for space to this day.
The Pleiades was the first constelation I learned to identify. To this day it’s the first thing I look for and how I orient myself in the night sky.
