taurus

This fierce bull, sent by Poseidon and later driven mad by Hercules, is sometimes associated with the constellation Taurus, representing its formidable power and untamed nature.

This spectacular celestial object is the remnant of a supernova observed by Chinese astronomers in 1054 AD. It's one of the most studied objects in astronomy, powered by a rapidly spinning neutron star.

In Greek myth, these sisters were pursued by the hunter Orion and were placed among the stars by Zeus for their protection. This famous cluster is also known as the "Seven Sisters."

This V-shaped cluster of hundreds of stars is estimated to be 625 million years old and is visible without a telescope. It's a key feature that helps locate the Taurus constellation in the night sky.

This disguise allowed the king of the gods to charm the Phoenician princess Europa, carrying her across the sea to Crete where he revealed his true form. This myth is a primary origin for the constellation Taurus.

This orange-hued star is not physically part of the Hyades star cluster, which it appears to dominate, but lies much closer to Earth. It's easily visible to the naked eye, marking the bull's eye.
