Beta Tauri

Beta Tauri (β Tau, β Tauri) is the second brightest star in the constellation Taurus, with an apparent magnitude of 1.68. Because it is on the boundary of Taurus and Auriga, it also has the redundant Bayer designation Gamma Aurigae (γ Aur), which today is rarely used. The star has the traditional name Elnath—a reference to "the butting" of the bull's horns.
