Its story

58 Tauri pulses as a variable F-type star in the fields of the Bull, 153 light-years away, near the broader environment of the Hyades cluster. Its brightness drifts slightly around magnitude 5.26, a reminder that many yellow-white stars are not steady hearths but slow heartbeats. The light gathered tonight set out in the late 19th century, when spectroscopy was only beginning to read the chemistry of the stars.
