it might be the Pleiades, of Messier object 45.
The Seven Sisters, or The Pleiades, isn't a constellation. It's an open cluster of many, many stars - therefore each one has it's own magnitude. However, the open cluster itself has a combined apparent magnitude of 1.6
That is called a globular cluster.
A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.
It can be called a star cluster, an open cluster or an asterism.
not a fancy name but its called a star cluster.

During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, Taurus is above and to the right of the unmistakeable constellation Orion. If you follow the 3 stars of Orion's Belt, up to the right, you will come to a reddish looking star. This is Aldebaran. It is in Taurus. It is on one side of a v-shaped pattern of stars, all of which are part of Taurus. Further up and to the right you will see a cluster of stars called the Pleiades, often called the Seven Sisters, although there are more than 7 stars in the cluster. The Pleiades is also part of Taurus.
