Determinations and measurements of the parallax of the Pleiades, obtained with ground-based studies and with Hipparcos data, are reviewed. A number of uncertainties in both sets of data are found. Although a further correction for abscissa correlations brings the Hipparcos determination closer to the ground-based value, the difference still seems too large. The new Hipparcos parallax determinations seem to reinforce a possible age related effect. A new reduction of the Hipparcos data is in progress. It reduces significantly the contribution of the attitude noise, providing higher accuracies and lower correlation levels for the brighter stars.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
