Tomorrow morning before sunrise, Venus can be seen next to the face of Taurus the Bull. The V-shaped group is an open star cluster known as the Hyades.
The Hyades is an open star cluster, meaning that these stars formed together from the same molecular cloud. As they age, close encounters with other stars and clouds of gas in the Milky Way will cause them to spread apart.
