I know I've heard of it before, but I can't seem to find any articles or pictures of it.Can anyone tell me if there is a constellation called The Four Sisters?No. You are talking about the Seven Sisters. They are a group of young, blue stars that are in Pleiades cluster, however, the most noticable stars are the seven sisters. The cluster actaully contains 500 young stars. But this is a cluster of stars. It is sometimes mistaken as a constellation. Hope this helped.Can anyone tell me if there is a constellation called The Four Sisters?

You are probably thinking about the Seven Sisters, which is an informal name for the Pleiades, a beautiful open star cluster that is visible in the autumn from the northern hemisphere.
There are none called the Four Sisters of which I am aware. I believe you are thinking of the Seven Sisters, or The Pleiades.
The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a conspicuous object in the night sky with a prominent place in ancient mythology. The cluster contains hundreds of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye.Can anyone tell me if there is a constellation called The Four Sisters?There are no constellations called the Four Sisters. There is an asterism called the Seven Sisters. The difference between a grouping of stars called a constellation, and a grouping of stars called an asterism is that constellations are, in some sense, more official.
The Pleiades (Seven Sisters) has many names, including m45. It also has more than 7 stars. But to the naked eye, there are about that many.Can anyone tell me if there is a constellation called The Four Sisters?
You can maybe mean the constellation called Seven Sisters or Pleiades, or the three sisters, which is one category of Freak waves on the ocean - or the weird sisters, which is a synonym for witches. But not four sisters... that's only a Korean sitcom.
The Pleiades are a pretty famous constellation and can easily be spotted in the night sky. They are also a very famous object in early astronomy, for example by the Sumerians.
No, but there is a winery and also a group of Inns by that name.
Who knows, one night an astronomer might have found M45, the Pleiades in a murky night sky and told his colleagues as a joke "Hey I've found the four sisters!" as there are 4 stars markedly brighter than the others.Can anyone tell me if there is a constellation called The Four Sisters?
I'm not aware of one. There's a group of stars called the Pleiades (PLEE-uh-deez), sometimes referred to as the seven sisters.
