Iot
Its story
Iota Tauri rests 173 light-years away in Taurus, not far from the open cluster of the Hyades and the blue flash of the Pleiades. A white A-type star, young and hot, it shares the proper motion that ties together a great part of the Taurus shoal. Its cool hue matches that of the bright stellar swarm framing Aldebaran.
