    Chris is an English astrophotographer whose cosmic passion began at an early age. At about 13, he bought his first telescope, sparking a lifelong obsession with astrophotography. He earned a degree in Astrophysics from Keele University, frequently spending nights in the university observatory. When weather permits, he captures images from his home observatory in rural Shropshire and uses remote telescopes in places like Chile and Australia.

    Chris has received numerous accolades, including NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Day (AAPOD), and several Astrobin Top Picks. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS). Outside astronomy, Chris is passionate about golf and aviation, working day-to-day as a cargo pilot. He also enjoys electronic music and runs a small business producing modular synthesizers.

    Illuminate Your Space with Chris Willocks' The Pleiades (M45) Poster

    Step into the universe with "The Pleiades (M45) Poster," an astoundingly detailed portrayal by Chris Willocks. Celebrated as one of the closest and most prominent star clusters visible from Earth, the Pleiades lie majestically within the constellation Taurus, just 440 light-years away. This widefield view encapsulates the beauty and complexity of this celestial marvel, drawing the cosmos closer to your home.

    The Majesty of the Seven Sisters

    The Pleiades contains over 1,000 stars, though it is best known for its seven brightest members, often referred to as the Seven Sisters. These young, hot, blue stars are thought to have formed within the last 100 million years. Surrounding these bright stars is an abundance of interstellar dust, once thought to originate from their formation, but is now considered likely to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium through which the cluster is currently passing.

    A Celestial Dance of Light and Dust

    This image reveals not only the Pleiades in all their glory but also the intricate filaments of surrounding interstellar dust that are often invisible in a lot of other images. The blue hues of the stars contrast sharply with the subtle brown tones of the surrounding nebulosity, creating a striking view of this stellar nursery.
