Well, the Pleiades (or "Seven Sisters") are just a group of bright stars. In reality, they are not even near each other (a star with a very high luminosity would seem just as bright as a closer star that is not as luminous). Constellations are made of bright stars that look near to each other in our sky, but most are hundreds, thousands or more light-years away from each other.
