The observed 1.8 degrees west of ε Tauri, a star at the northern tip of the "V" of the Hyades, is a faint variable star of irregular period, with a mysterious emission / reflection nebula called Hind's Variable Nebula (NGC 1554-55). The brightness of the star changes unpredictably from 8.4 mag to 13.5 mag. T Tauri is a very young star, and NGC 1555 is likely a remnant of the cloud from which it was born. T Tauri and NGC 1555 are located within a relatively close complex of dark clouds in Taurus, about 450-500 light-years away, where other much fainter similar stars are found.
