Its story
σ¹ Tauri belongs to the Hyades, the open cluster nearest to the Sun and the very group that draws the Bull's triangular head. At 147 light-years, it shares origin and motion with hundreds of sister stars born some six hundred million years ago from the same molecular cloud. To look at it is to look at a whole stellar family moving together through the Galaxy, in the slow cadence of suns that still remember their common cradle.
