	Aldebaran - Alpha Tauri - Crystalinks
		The star Aldebaran - Alpha Tauri - is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus.
		Its name is derived from the Arabic word Al Dabaran, "follower", a reference to the way the star follows the Pleiades star cluster in its nightly journey across the sky.
		Hebrews called Aldebaran God's Eye and Aleph, Akkadian Gis-da, Furrow of Heaven, Greek Omma Boos, Latin Oculus Tauri, early English the Bull's Eye; and Hindus Rohini the Red Deer - the name of the river in Nepal where the Buddha was born at the time of the May full moon, around 563 BCE.

		Alpha system could possibly refer to any number of solar systems with "alpha" in their designations.
