    Poseidon, Pan, Persephone, Pegasus, Prometheus, the phoenix, the Pleiades (aka the Seven Sisters, my favorite constellation!)

    https://earthsky.org/favorite-star-patterns/pleiades-star-cluster-enjoys-worldwide-renown

    The name of this star cluster in Japanese is "Subaru" thus the star logo on the car of the same name.

    image

    The eagle-eyed will note there are only six stars on the Subaru logo. This is consistent with the fact that one can only see six of the seven sisters with the naked eye. Two of the stars are so close together, they appear to be one larger star. Something fun to watch for next time you're on the road.
