Taurus
Taurus
Conspicuous zodiacal constellation in the northern hemisphere near Orion, represented as a bull. The Sun passes through Taurus from mid-May to late June. In astrology, the dates for Taurus are between about 20 April and 20 May (see precession).
The V-shaped Hyades open star cluster is in the bull's head, with Aldebaran as the red eye. The Pleiades open cluster is in the shoulder. Taurus also contains the Crab nebula, the remnants of the supernova of AD 1054, which is a strong radio and X-ray source and the location of one of the first pulsars to be discovered.
