Taurus is one of the most visible constellations because of the brightness of its stars.
If you want to locate it:
Taurus is a southeast Winter constellation, that means that it can be seen from the southeast hemisphere during the winter. The best time to see it is at 20:00 in May.
It is easily recognized by its V shape and has within it the Seven Sisters or Pleiades, often mistaken for the Little Dipper. Look for the reddish star Aldebaren (is one of the bull's eyes). Aldebaren can be spotted by tracing a line from left to right through Orion's belt and following it up to Aldebaren. Spot the Hyades. The Hyades are what is known as an open star cluster. The Hyades make up most of the V shape that is the face of the Zodiac constellation Taurus and they seem to include Aldebaren, but that bright star is actually much closer to Earth than the Hyades. Taurus has not one but two open star clusters in it. The Pleiades are about the distance of your upheld fist from Aldebaren,
riding on what would be the back of the heavenly bull. They are shaped like a small dipper and appear to the naked eye to be seven in number. Extend your view out from the V to the tips of the horns. From each end of the face of the bull's V is a star that represents the ends of the horns of Taurus. These two stars complete the constellation.
