Quote from the Related Link: "The Subaru telescope is named after the young star cluster Pleiades, whose Japanese name is 'Subaru'. Japanese people have admired the beauty of the Pleiades for over 1,000 years. 'Subaru', originally pronounced 'Sumaru', means 'to get together' or 'to tie together'. It is a befitting name for an internationally open research facility."

It is the Japanese name for the 'Seven Sisters' (Pleiades) star cluster.
