HOLA STAR FRIENDOS TRACE HERE TWO WEEKS AGO WE SPIED THE PLEIADES, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER STAR CLUSTER NEARBY SAY HY TO THE HYADES!

LOOK DUE EAST AT EIGHT PM FOR ORANGE ALDEBARAN NOT JUPITER, HERE THE EYE OF TAURUS THE BULL.

ALL THOSE ORANGE AND BLUE STARS AROUND ALDEBARAN IS THE HYADES, INCLUDING THE V-SHAPE THAT FORMS TAURUS’S FOREHEAD!

AT 152 LIGHT-YEARS AWAY, THE HYADES IS THE CLOSEST OPEN STAR CLUSTER TO EARTH.

IT’S A SPHERICAL GROUP OF THREE TO FOUR-HUNDRED STARS.

THEY’RE ALL RELATED, FORMING FROM THE SAME NEBULA.

THEY MOVE TOGETHER THROUGH THE UNIVERSE LIKE A FLOCK OF BIRDS.

THOUGH ALDEBARAN APPEARS TO BE CLOSE TO THE HYADES IT’S ONLY 67 LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

THINK OF IT LIKE AL IS IN THE FOREGROUND, AND THE HYADES ARE PHOTOBOMBING WITH INCREDIBLE EFFECT.

NEXT TIME YOUR FRIEND IS GETTING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN STAND BEHIND THEM AND SHOUT HYADES I’M SURE IT’LL GET AN ASTRONOMICAL LAUGH.

KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
