Observations by Dr. William Alexander Calder disclosed that in a year the seventh Pleiad, now called Pleïone, had diminished by one-sixth of a magnitude in brightness. It cannot have been decreasing for very long at this rate, otherwise it would have been the brightest star in the sky less than a half century ago.
