11 stars generally make up "The Bull" as you can see in the attached picture (link below). Perhaps the "best known" is the Crab Nebula (although technically, it is not one of the form-determining stars, but is actually a galaxy much further away between the bull's "horns").

Aldebaran is the most intense star in the constellation

Hi. Actually M1, the Crab Nebula, is the remains of a star that exploded as a supernova in 1054 AD, and is expanding so rapidly that Hubble can detect the motion of its gas to this day. One of my favorite Messier objects. It's about 6000 light years away : http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Crab%20Nebula&gwp=16
