The stars of the Pleiades and Orion...

[Magnetic]

How do these stars interact with eachother? Do they interact with eachother gravitationally?

How do these stars interact with eachother? Do they interact with eachother gravitationally?

You're asking two completely different questions here. And I'm not sure what, exactly, you want to know with one of them. So I'll just dump information on you and let you sort it out.

The Pleiades are a cluster of hundreds of young stars which formed at the same time, from the same nebula. They lie at a mean distance of 425 light-years from Earth. Gravitationally, they're not bound to one another. It's just that only 100 million years have elapsed since their formation, and they've not had enough time to fully disperse.

The stars in the constellation of Orion do not interact with one another. In fact, their locations in the sky are only meaningful to us humans who like to see patterns in things that don't really have them (in fact if you look at the picture on this page, the 'constellation' doesn't stand out at all, unless you know exactly what you're looking for!) As an example, Rigel (the second brightest star in the constellation) is something like 800 - 900 light years from Earth. Betelgeuse (the brightest star) lies only 425 lightyears from Earth. The middle of Orion's sword, the Orion Nebula, lies 1500 lightyears from Earth.

Fascinating information. Thank you, sir! You answered what I was wondering.

Magnetic, are you trying to say someone was telling you that the stars in the constellations are linked by some manner other than our imaginations?

Whether Job was talking about the bands of gravity or bands of magnetic pull or the bands of rotation that the planets and stars travel, the scripture here and the meaning was far beyond it's time. Concider this scientific data:


Job 38:31: Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Off the top of my head:

All the world is a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and entrances;
Each man in his time plays many parts.

Gee, I guess Shakespeare knew all about the flat spacetime upon which the particles of the Standard Model play their parts, predicted the discovery of antiparticles (men vs women), and foreshadowed the description of many different particle interactions (parts) through 'entry' and 'exit' from Feynman diagrams. The scientific data in this ancient wisdom is far beyond its time.
