This week too, the starry sky master will bring you starry sky knowledge that you'll want to talk about tomorrow.
This time, we will be talking about Taurus, the winter constellation that is also known as the birth sign for those born between April 4th and May 20th.

【Taurus】
Aldebaran, the bull's right eye in the night sky

To find Taurus, use the previously mentioned constellation Orion as a guide. Once you find Orion in the night sky, move your gaze to the upper right along the line of three stars, and you will come across a star that shines orange and is much brighter than the surrounding stars. This is Aldebaran, the first magnitude star in Taurus.

In addition, the large hexagon that connects Aldebaran with Rigel in Orion, Sirius in Canis Major, Procyon in Canis Minor, Pollux in Gemini, and Capella in Auriga,"Winter Diamond (Great Winter Hexagon)"They are called the "North and South Pole Stars," and since both stars are first magnitude, they can be easily seen.

A love story between a beautiful woman and the king of the gods who transformed into a cow

In the town of Tyre, there was a beautiful woman named Europa. When Zeus saw her, he fell in love at first sight. Zeus thought about how he could get closer to the beautiful Europa. He decided to transform himself into a white tsar. Europa, unusually, liked the large white tsar, and the moment she tried to sit on the tsar's back, the tsar rose up, went into the sea, and swam furiously. He took her to the island of Crete, where Zeus revealed his true form and told Europa his love. The two were united in love.
It is said that the image of Zeus racing across this sea shines in the night sky as the constellation Taurus.
It is also said that the area west of Phoenicia (present-day Lebanon), where Europa was abducted, came to be called Europe after her.

Additionally, Grand Chariot Big Dipper 135° offers cocktails for the 12 constellations. You can enjoy the Taurus cocktail, White Lady, introduced here.

In winter, when the beautiful Taurus shines brilliantly, why not gaze at the night sky at Grand Chariot Big Dipper 135° while thinking about the mythology of the constellation? We look forward to seeing you there.
