Its story

125 Tauri is a hot blue B-type star, distant and silent, lying more than four hundred light-years away in the constellation of the Bull. Its light set out in the heart of the early modern era, when the great geometers were beginning to unravel the laws of celestial motion. Across this region of sky also shine the Hyades and the Pleiades, two famous clusters among which this discreet star passes almost unnoticed.
