Its story
88 Tauri burns with a blue-white tone at the edge of the bull's face, some 156 light-years from the Sun. Its A-type spectrum reveals a surface hotter than our own star, still in the prime of its cosmic youth. Magnitude 4.25 places it at the threshold of unaided sight under clear skies, a quiet point amid the bull's brighter lanterns.
