ASTRONOMY – THE PLEIADES

Pleiades Constellation

The constellation of the Pleiades is mentioned in the book of Job. ‘Can you bind the cluster of Pleiades?’

This cluster of 250 star is actually bound together moving the same direction at the same pace, they are literally ‘bound’ together. An amazing astronomical fact that we could not have possibly known without high powered telescopes.

Pleiades or the constellation of Pleiades; this seemly cluster of 7 stars is actually a cluster of over 250 blazing suns all traveling together in the same group in one common direction, all sharing the same motion. They are all moving in a southeasterly direction. According to Isabel Lewis of the United States Naval Observatory.

The USNO observation shows that it is no temporary or accidental agglomeration of stars, but a system bound together in the same accord as a family of suns.
