 T Tauri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was discovered in October 1852 by John Russell Hind, and is part of the Hyades cluster, not far from ε Tauri.
Through VLA radio observations, it was found that the young star (the "T Tauri star" itself) dramatically changed its orbit after a close encounter with one of its companions and may have been ejected from the system.
Physically nearby is NGC 1555, a reflection nebula known as Hind's Nebula or Hind's Variable Nebula.

 ATLANTA Magazine article on Lynne Russell
She was born in 1946 in New Jersey to John Russell, a career Army officer, and Carmella Pasqualina Evangelista, a homemaker.
Russell loves to travel and is so fond of Germany -- especially Berlin, where on her last visit she wore a blond wig -- that she learned the language.
Russell is a vegetarian -- "I don't eat anything with a face" -- meditates twice a day and is so disciplined that when she allows herself an extravagance such as champagne, she also drinks water to keep herself hydrated.

 AAVSO: T Tauri, February 2001 Variable Star Of The Month
Hind, a noted asteroid hunter, is credited with having discovered 11 minor planets, as well as Nova Ophiuchi 1848 and R Leporis (also known as Hind's Crimson Star).
On this particular night, however, while scanning the sky with his telescope through the Pleiades and in the direction of the Hyades, Hind spotted a tenth magnitude star that was missing from the charts that he was using.
Hind's Nebula can clearly be seen as the ghostly figure to the west of T Tauri in this STScI Digitized Sky Survey image.

 High Spirits, John Russell
We can only be glad that Chukovsky buried it, dug it up, kept it through difficult times, and clung to it as if it in some way validated that admiration in which he had been held.
At the same time, he was known to hundreds of thousands of Russians as the man who had written about a crocodile that walked upright on its hind legs along the Nevsky Prospect, spoke German fluently, smoked cigarettes, and on occasion swallowed uniformed policemen as if they were sardines.
These were manifold distinctions, but we may sense that they never quite took away the central shame and terror of his life, which was that his father, a Petersburg university student, had abandoned his mother, a peasant woman from the Poltava Province, not long after his birth.

In 1852 the English astronomer John Russell Hind, exploring the constellation Taurus through his telescope, round a dim star that wasn't noted on his charts.
When Hind discovered T Tauri, it was shining at about magnitude ten--roughly one-fiftieth the brightness visible with the unaided eye.
The star is still inconstant, however; modern measurements show that, even from one day to the next, T Tauri's brightness can change by as much as half its typical output.

We passed the London Planetarium, and stopped next at The Monument, Wren's memorial to the Great Fire, and of astronomical interest because it once housed a zenith telescope.

In 2000 the maximum may occur in the last week of December, depending of course on the star's current period.
The star glows with an unusually intense red; it goes by the name of Hind's Crimson Star since John Russell Hind (in 1845) wrote that it resembled "a blood-drop on the background of the sky".
Although, unfortunately, as the star brightens it loses much some of its intense colour.

On December 15, 1855 the English astronomer John Russell Hind (1823-1895) was searching for new minor planets in the constellation of Gemini.
The next few days the star became fainter and fainter and it was soon invisible in Hind's telescope.
He thus classified the star as a faint nova.
