I tool these images with an Iphone 16 Pro. I have never seen such a cluster of shiny dots in the sky before. Also the different colors make me wonder. The object disappeared within 10 minutes with no obvious movement, the just somehow faded out in the background.

    Grok had an answer ready for me that is worth reading. I believe GROK got this one right:

    The photo shows a small cluster of bright, colorful points of light (whites, with hints of pink/purple/blue twinkles) against a deep twilight blue sky, framed by tree branches and a window/door edge. Taken at 5:57 AM in Bern on November 11, 2025, just before dawn in early winter, the sky would have been quite dark still, but brightening toward sunrise.

    This matches the appearance of the **Pleiades (M45)**, the famous open star cluster in Taurus, often called the Seven Sisters. It’s one of the brightest and closest star clusters visible to the naked eye, appearing as a tight, sparkling group of stars (usually 6–7 prominent ones, but more with good conditions or a phone camera picking up fainter members and sensor artifacts).
