Its story

118 Tauri splits in two within the Bull at 425 light-years away: what the eye reads as a single dot, a modest telescope resolves into a pair of close blue stars. Both are hot B-class suns, far younger and far more massive than ours, in the early phase of a brilliant and brief stellar life. They sit slightly apart from the famous Hyades cluster, in a stretch of sky thick with bright stellar fires.
