The Hyades, a cluster of stars 152 light years away that makes
the head of Taurus,
the Bull, appears to surround the bright star
Aldebaran (toward lower left),
which makes the Bull's glaring eye. Aldebaran, however,
is not a part of the cluster and is less than half the
Hyades' distance away. With an age of 625 million years, it is
not quite as old as the Beehive.
