Moon in the Lunar Mansion
Althurayya, The Many Little Ones,
also known as Caput Tauri, The Head of the Bull.
Marked by the fix’d Star: Alcyone, in the Pleiades.

Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising thro’ the mellow shade,
Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid.
~Tennyson, “Locksley Hall.”
