What constellation is this group of stars from?

It is a small group of stars of about 7 or 8 stars. It looks very similar to the little dipper but it is NOT the little dipper. Can anyone help me out? You can see it tonight in the United States.What constellation is this group of stars from?Is this a very compact group, about the size of the Moon? Is it in the east? Then it is probably the Pleiades, a bright star cluster in the constellation Taurus.What constellation is this group of stars from?
LYRA?



i saw something that looked just like the little dipper but, it was in the direction of lyra.



i don't really know if i was suppose to see that constellation in this time of year though. haha.What constellation is this group of stars from?That's the Pleiades in Taurus. Also in Taurus are the Hyades. Train your telescope or binoculars on Aldebaran. the bright orange-red star, to see the Hyades.What constellation is this group of stars from?
You may be thinking of the Pleiades open star cluster in Taurus.
