Taurus, the Bull: A constellation of the zodiac marked by a V-shaped pattern of stars that outlines the bull's face.

Stargazing Tip
November 19, 2009: The two nearest star clusters to Earth appear in the constellation Taurus, the bull. The Hyades forms the bull's V-shaped face, while the Pleiades forms a tiny dipper north of the Hyades. Look for them high in the east this evening. Check the Sky Almanac for more information.
