Today:
Following the line of Orion’s Belt stars to the right, the red star Aldebaran should easily catch your attention. Look more carefully at this region, and you will see a “V” shaped pattern of stars making the Bull’s face. This faint group is called the Hyades, step-sisters of the more famous Pleiades, or Seven Sisters.
