TAURUS
The vee-shaped head of Taurus, the Bull, dominated by the
reddish star Aldebaran, is to the right of center.
Taurus's northern horn, represented by Elnath, lies at center
left, Zeta toward lower left, down and to the left of the
bright body, which is Saturn,
which was moving through Taurus when the picture was taken. The
head of Taurus is a star cluster called the
Hyades
(150 light years away), of which Alebaran is
not a member. At the top is a more famed cluster, the more-distant
Pleiades,
"Seven Sisters," its brightest star Alcyone. Ain (Epsilon) is just
above Aldebaran, while Lambda Tauri is
the brightest star to the right of the end of the Hyades.
Within the upper part of the Hyades' "vee" is a triplet of
stars, from right to left Delta-1 (Hayadum II), Delta-2, and Delta-3.
Kappa is the brighest of the triplet up and to the left of Ain.
