Biography
About the Star
Maia is a blue giant belonging to the spectral class B8III. It was named after the eldest of the Pleiades sisters. It has a visual magnitude of 3.871 and is approximately 360 light years distant. It is one of the stars in the Maia Nebula (NGC 1432), a relatively bright emission or reflection nebula located in the Pleiades cluster.
Maia is a mercury-manganese star, a chemically peculiar star that has a prominent spectral line at 398.4 nm as a result of absorption from ionized mercury. It has four solar masses, 5.5 times the solar radius, and is 660 times more luminous than the Sun.
Taurus Myth
Taurus constellation has been known since at least the Early Bronze Age, when it marked the Sun's location during the spring equinox. It has been associated with the bull in many cultures and mythologies: Greek and Egyptian among other, and even going back to Ancient Babylon.
Depictions of Taurus and the Pleiades star cluster have even been found in a cave painting at Lascaux, dating back to 15,000 BC. Both the constellation and the Pleiades have been known in many indigenous cultures and referred to as the bull and the seven sisters, which indicates a common origin for the names.
In Greek mythology, Taurus is usually associated with Zeus, who adopted the shape of a bull in order to seduce and abduct Europa, the beautiful daughter of the Phoenician King Agenor.
Zeus mingled with the king's herd and, being the most handsome bull there, he got Europa's attention. The princess admired the bull and, when she sat on his back, he rose and headed for the sea. Zeus carried Europa all the way to the island of Crete, where he revealed his true identity and lavished the princess with presents.
The two had three sons together, including Minos, who grew up to be the famous king of Crete, who built the palace at Knossos where bull games were held and who also sacrificed seven young boys and girls to the Minotaur each year. Zeus later commemorated the bull by placing it among the stars.
An alternative interpretation associates Taurus with the nymph Io, whose line Europa was descended from, who was also seduced by Zeus and then transformed into a heifer when the two were nearly caught by Hera.
Babylonian astronomers called the constellation MUL.APIN, or "The Heavenly Bull." In the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest literary works from Mesopotamia, Gilgamesh faces the Bull of Heaven sent by the goddess Ishtar to defeat the hero after he had rejected her advances.
Gilgamesh is sometimes associated with the nearby Orion, another ancient constellation, and the two constellations are depicted as Gilgamesh and the bull in combat.
