Its story

Just 45 light-years away, 10 Tauri is a cosmic neighbour: a yellow-white F-type dwarf burning a touch hotter and brighter than the Sun. Light that left it during the 1980s now arrives clean to modern catalogues such as Hipparcos. It grazes Taurus far from the Bull's gleaming eye, in a quiet corner of the northern winter sky.
