Remmirath
From Tolkien Gateway
Remmirath was a constellation created by Varda, one of many to signal the Elves to Valinor.[1]. It was called the "Netted Stars" in Westron,[2] which is a rough but accurate translation of the name.[3] The constellation has been identified as the modern constellation Pleiades.[4]
