The
constellation of Taurus, “The Bull,” lies along the winter Milky Way.
It contains many objects, primarily open clusters, the most famous of
which is The Pleiades.
Another cluster, The Hyades, forms the head of the bull.
The Crab Nebula with its bright center and ragged edges is a
left-over from a supernova.
Astrologically, Taurus is the sign of people born between April 20 and May 20. Its element is Earth and it carries feminine, receptive energy. The ruling planet is Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and the arts, pleasure, and emotions. Venus also represents a love of luxury. |
