The vee-shaped head of Taurus, the Bull, dominated by thereddish star Aldebaran, is to the right of center with Hyadum I (Gamma) at its point. Theta, which consists of Theta-1 on top,Theta-2 on the bottom (note the elongation of the image), sits betweenAldebaran and Gamma. Taurus's northern horn, represented by Elnath, lies at centerleft, Zeta toward lower left, down and to the left of thebright body, which is Saturn, which was moving through Taurus when the picture was taken. Thehead of Taurus is a star cluster called theHyades(150 light years away), of which Alebaran isnot a member. At the top is a more famed cluster, the more-distantPleiades,"Seven Sisters," its brightest star Alcyone. Ain (Epsilon) is justabove Aldebaran, while Lambda Tauri isthe brightest star to the right of the end of the Hyades. A line continued from the Hyades through Lambda points at 30 Tau.Within the upper part of the Hyades' "vee" is a triplet ofstars, from right to left Delta-1 (Hayadum II), Delta-2, and Delta-3.Kappa is the brighest of the triplet up and to the left of Ain.119=CE Tau lies within the set of fainter stars below Saturn.Xi and Omicron Tauri lie off the picture to the right, appearing justeast of the head ofCetus. Tau Tauri lies up and to the left of Ain roughly a third of the way to Elnath. Look for 37 Tau halfway between the Pleiades andHyades, with 39 Tau just barely separated from it down and to the left. Nu Tauri lies near the lower right edge, while Mu is the lower of the pair to the left and a bit up from it.SouthernAuriga lies toward upper left.Chi-1 and Chi-2Orionis are the upper stars of the twin pairs near the lower left corner and are seen on the image ofGemini as well. U Ori is barely visible just down and to the left ofChi-1 Ori. Omicron-1 Ori lies down and to the left of Aldebaranabout half way to the edge of the picture.The Galaxy'santicenter (the point opposite the Galactic center inSagittarius) is at center left just over the border of Auriga, while the Summer Solstice lies toward the lower leftcorner above Chi-2 Ori. The open cluster M35in Gemini hovers at the lower left edge to the left of the Solstice.
