Taurus (The Bull)

BRIGHTEST STAR: Aldebaran (α Tau)
HEMISPHERE: Northern
BEST VIEWED: January

Zodiac constellation hosting the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters and the Crab Nebula supernova remnant of 1054 AD.

The supernova of 1054 AD that created its Crab Nebula was recorded by Chinese astronomers and stayed visible in daylight for 23 days.
Aldebaran only appears to belong to the Hyades cluster; it is a foreground star at about half the cluster's distance.
The Pleiades' wispy blue glow comes from an unrelated dust cloud the cluster is currently passing through, not leftover birth material.
