The Pleiades star system is said to be the home of the alien species known as the Nordics. It is a cluster, sometimes also known as the "seven sisters", due to the bright stars that are visible to the naked eye. Officially designated as M45, the Pleiades reside in the Taurus constellation. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Pleiades are are visible in the night sky during the Winter months. There are actually hundreds of stars in the Pleiades, however only six are visible to the naked eye, with the seventh lying just outside of visible range.
