The Hyades are half-sisters of The Pleiades, as their father was also Atlas (who had a brief daliance with Aethra).

In the pursuit of accuracy, some mythographers consider Aethra to be identical with Pleione, which would mean The Hyades were fully related to The Pleiades.

This cluster of about two hundred stars is considerably dispersed, extending from Aldebaran (not a member) to gamma and up to delta (which are members).

The cluster forms most of the face of the bull; Aldebaran is the animal's right eye, epsilon Tauri the right eye and gamma the snout.

The asterism, with Aldebaran at the eastern edge, is fully seen in binoculars. The central stars in your field of vision, theta¹ and theta², have a pleasant colour contrast.
