The star’s appearance is still uncertain. Scientifically, are there Turaya or Tsurayya stars?

Researcher at the Bandung Institute of Aeronautics and Space Sciences (Lapan), Dr. Emannuel Sungging Mumpuni said that the term Turaya / Tsuraya originated from a local saga.

Meanwhile, in the stellar space science in question it is Pleiades.

“The star’s name comes from the local saga, yes. If that means, like Pleiades. Throughout the cycle year (Pleiades) in heaven you can always determine, “said Sungging when contacted Kompas.com, Saturday (2/4/2020) tomorrow.

He mentioned the time of the star’s appearance. Pleiades is right now
