Mu

Hot blue star

Its story

Mu Tauri is a hot blue type B star burning some 456 light-years away, on the neck of the Bull. It haunts the celestial precinct of the Hyades —the V-shaped open cluster that traces the animal's face— and visually shares the gathering that frames red Aldebaran. Its cool tint and bright glow place it among the many young, vigorous workers of a region so heavily charged with mythology.
