Aldebaran (α Tau) - The brightest star of the constellation (0.85 mag). An orange giant of spectral class K5, its name is of Arabic origin and means "another" - because it appears after the Pleiades and follows them in their daily motion from east to west. It is located 65 light-years away from us and represents the eye of the Bull in the sky. Its actual luminosity reaches 125 times the luminosity of the Sun. It coincidentally appears to be projected onto the open star cluster Hyades, which actually lies beyond it.

θ Tau - A wide double star in the Hyades visible to the naked eye. It consists of two bright components with magnitudes of 3.6 and 4, separated by 337". The brighter component is white, and the companion is orange. They are separated by 15 light-years, but it is highly likely that they have a common origin.

λ Tau - An eclipsing variable star of Algol type, with a magnitude fluctuation from 3.3 to 3.8 in a period of 3.95 days. Suitable comparison stars are γ (3.6 mag), μ (4.3 mag), ο (3.6 mag), and ζ (3.7 mag). λ Tau is actually much brighter than Algol, but it is located at a much greater distance (480 light years). Its light variations were first observed by J. Baxendell from England in 1848.

47 Tau - A close binary star, even for a telescope with a 200mm objective diameter. Up to 200x magnification will reveal two yellow stars with magnitudes of 4.9 and 7.4, located at a separation of only 1.1". Another star with a magnitude of 12 is located 30" away.

φ Tau - It consists of two stars with magnitudes 5 and 8.4 at a mutual distance of 52.1". A good binocular is sufficient to resolve both components. In a small telescope, we can also observe a yellow or blue tint.

RW Tauri - An eclipsing variable star, one degree northwest of 41 Tauri. The primary component is completely eclipsed every 2.76 days, which reduces its brightness from 7.9 mag to 11.4 mag. The total eclipse lasts for 9 hours, and the entire obscuration persists for an additional 84 minutes. Among eclipsing variable stars, RW Tauri exhibits one of the deepest magnitude decreases, up to 3.5. It is estimated that this system is located 1,370 light-years away.

T Tauri - The observed 1.8 degrees west of ε Tauri, a star at the northern tip of the "V" of the Hyades, is a faint variable star of irregular period, with a mysterious emission / reflection nebula called Hind's Variable Nebula (NGC 1554-55). The brightness of the star changes unpredictably from 8.4 mag to 13.5 mag. T Tauri is a very young star, and NGC 1555 is likely a remnant of the cloud from which it was born. T Tauri and NGC 1555 are located within a relatively close complex of dark clouds in Taurus, about 450-500 light-years away, where other much fainter similar stars are found.
