Its story
98 Tauri sits in the celestial bull at 284 light-years, a white, hot A-type star. Its light departed while Bach was still composing cantatas in Leipzig and the automobile had not yet been imagined. Magnitude 5.79 — the eye barely catches it, yet modern catalogues fix its place with a precision that was unthinkable a single generation ago.
