Penrose triangle – Asterism in Taurus
These stars are part of the Hyades, forming an asterism like a Penrose triangle. Unfortunately the FOV is a bit small, visually it’s more spectacular and the group is easy to identify.
I’ve found no reference about this ‘asterism’ yet, so I named it by my first association:
Members of the group:
- Theta-1 Tau (4.0 mag)
- Theta-2 Tau (3.5 mag)
- 80 Tau (5.6 mag)
- 81 Tau (5.5 mag)
- HD 28568 (6.6 mag)
- HD 28527 (4.8 mag)
