The constellation Taurus shines over Bryce Canyon, Utah

The 13th brightest star in the sky, the red giant star, Aldebaran and the blue stars of the Hyades Cluster in Taurus shine above Bryce Canyon National Monument in Utah. Aldebaran means "the Follower" in Arabic, is 60 light years away, 350 times more luminous than the Sun, and 40 times larger than the Sun. In most of the drawings of Taurus, Aldebaran makes the Bull's eye, and the Hyades make the rest of the Bull’s face. Aldebaran is a class K star that passes to the north of the Sun every year around June 1. It is also a low- level irregular variable star that rotates once every two years. Some believe this irregularity is due to Aldebaran having its own solar system.
