“California vs Pleaides”. Know since ancient times as the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades Cluster, to the right of the image consists of arouind a thousand stars, which formed toether about 100 million year ago. This unusual view shows the Pleiades Cluster in the borader context of its local environment, driftin through a chaotic region of dark dusk. The glowing cloud of hydrogen gas to the left of the image is the California Nebula names for its resemblance to the US state. Highly commended in the Deep Space category.
