Pi
Its story
Pi Tauri appears among the stars of the Hyades, yet does not belong to that cluster: it lies nearly three times farther, around 417 light-years away, and shares only the line of sight. A yellow G-type giant that perspective has placed in the head of the Bull, a distant guest looking in on the nearest family of suns bound together by their common birth.
