"But wait, there's more.

This 'celestial gathering is taking place'; in-front-of the constellation Taurus.

Close to Venus, Jupiter and Moon, is the 'Bright Red Giant star 'Aldebaran' - surrounded by stars of a star cluster called, 'the Hyades' (153 lightyears away ).

Aldebaran ( is not a member of the Hyades, but ) is 'much closer to the Sun' ( only 65 lightyears away )."
