Hyades (star cluster) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (305 words)
Its brightest stars form a "V" shape along with the red giant Aldebaran, the brightest star in the field of view, which is not part of the cluster.
The Hyades, at 151 light years from Earth, form the nearest star cluster (disregarding the Ursa Major Stream that includes neighboring stars such as Sirius).
The Hyades, in Greek mythology, were the five daughters of Atlas and half-sisters to the Pleiades.
