Taygeta

Its story

Taygeta is one of the seven sisters of the Pleiades, the blue points that sparkle in Taurus like a swarm of jewels wrapped in residual gas. In Greek myth she was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione, pursued by Orion until raised into the sky. She shines from 409 light-years: her light set out when Cervantes was beginning to publish the first parts of Don Quixote.
