"God challenged Job’s ability to “bind the sweet influences of Pleiades.”
It’s as if He was saying, “Hey Job, you think you can keep Pleiades
together? Well, I can!”
As it turns out, the Pleiades (also known as the Seven Sisters) is an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus.
It is classified as an open cluster because it is a group of hundreds of stars formed from the same cosmic cloud.
Most importantly, they are bound to one another by mutual gravitational attraction.
Isabel Lewis of the United States Naval Observatory (quoted by Phillip L. Knox in Wonder Worlds) said, “Astronomers have.jpg)
identified 250 stars as actual members of this group, all sharing in a common motion and drifting through space in the same direction.” Lewis said they are “journeying onward together through the immensity of space.”

Dr. Robert J. Trumpler (quoted in the same book) said, “Over 25,000 individual measures of the Pleiades stars are now available, and their study led to the important discovery that the whole cluster is moving in a southeasterly direction. The Pleiades stars may thus be compared to a swarm of birds, flying together to a distant goal. This leaves no doubt that the Pleiades are not a temporary or accidental agglomeration of stars, but a system in which the stars are bound together by a close kinship.”
From our perspective on Earth, the Pleiades will not change in appearance; these stars are marching together in formation toward the same destination, bound in unison, just as God described them."
