Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to view the Pleiades through a telescope. [53] He thereby discovered that the cluster contains many stars too dim to be seen with the naked eye. He published his observations, including a sketch of the Pleiades showing 36 stars, in his treatise Sidereus Nuncius in March 1610.
With the naked eye observers could see only six stars in the Pleiades; through his telescope, however, Galileo was capable of seeing thirty-five – almost six times as many. When he turned his telescope on Orion, he was capable of seeing eighty stars, rather than the previously observed nine – almost nine times more.

The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years.

In Japan, the Pleiades are known as Subaru (昴) which means "coming together" or "cluster" in Japanese and have given their name to the car manufacturer whose logo incorporates six stars to represent the five companies that merged into one. [78] Subaru Telescope, located in Mauna Kea Observatory on Hawaii, is also named after the Pleiades. [79]

The term Pleiades Phenomenon was coined by astronomer Paul Kalas who discovered five nebulosities not related to star forming regions using a coronagraph. [2] The nebulosities were found to have "linear, filamentary, striated morphological structure" located between 1000 and 100,000 astronomical units from each star.
