34 Tauri

Flamsteed recorded the position of 34 Tauri on several occasions. 236 years ago today William Herschel reported his observation of the same object and described it as a "nebulous star or perhaps a comet". It subsequently became known as Georgium Sidus.

Thanks for noting that. It got me into some really interesting reading about the planet.
