Actually, it's 7 stars (The Seven Sisters) but only ppl with exceptional eyesight can see the 7th. And when they can see the 7th, they can also see the 8th which is only a fraction of a magnitude less bright. The 7 Sisters are so named coz this number is an average of 6 & 8.
Although Pleaides is a group, or open cluster of around 500 stars, only the 8 can be seen with the naked eye; beyond that it's telescope or binocular material.
Now, you ALL wanted to know about this didn't you?
