The Hyades (Ὑας, Ὑαδες) are a significant pattern of stars in the sky that has been recognized as an asterism or constellation by almost all cultures. They form part of the modern constellation of [[Taurus]].

==Etymology and History==

==== Name Variants: ====
* Suculae (Latin)
* Rainy Ones (''hyô, hyetos'')
* Regengestirn (German)
* ‘jaws of Taurus’ ([[Is le10|''is-lê'']])
* [[AGA A-nim]], the Crown of the sky god Anu
* ''Rohiṅī śakaṭa'' - the cart of ''Rohiṅī'' ''(Sanskrit)''

===Origin of Constellation===
[[File:Fig1 taurus tablet 150dpi sciLogs.jpg|thumb|Taurus sign with drawings of Pleiades (Bristle), Hyades (Chariot), Bull, and the Moon during a total lunar eclipse in the Moon's hypsoma; drawing by Hoffmann (2025)<ref name=":0">Hoffmann, S.M. (2025). Image Analysis of VAT 7851, [https://orientalistik.univie.ac.at/publikationen/afo/ Archiv für Orientforschung (AfO)] 56, 45-53</ref>.]]
[[File:Hyaden+plejaden_smh2025_isle.JPG|thumb|Hyades (photograph) and The Jaw of the Bull from a claytablet (CC BY SMH 2024).]]
The V-shaped Hyades appear more scattered in the sky; in Mesopotamia they were regarded as [[AGA A-nim]], the Crown of the sky god Anu, or the ‘Jaw of The Bull’ ([[Is le10|''is-lê'']]) and are interpreted in Greek as its face. The bright star [[Aldebaran]], which physically does not belong to the star cluster but is (coincidentally) seen standing in the foreground in the same direction in the sky, had no proper name - neither in Mesopotamia nor in mathematical Greek astronomy. Only in his astrological work Tetrabiblos does Ptolemy give a name for the star: the torch. The modern name, Aldebaran, is Arabic and alludes to its position in the sky. The Pleiades rise first, followed by Aldebaran and the Hyades. Ad-Dabaran means ‘the following one’.

The star cluster seems to be also part of Late Babylonian constellation of The Chariot, GIGIR.<ref name=":0" />

===Transfer and Transformation of the Constellation===
The word śakaṭa means a cart. Hyades is referred to as ''Rohiṅī śakaṭa'' - the cart of ''Rohiṅī''. We find references to the cart of ''Rohiṅī'' (Aldebaran) in many Sanskrit texts. ''Rohiṅī'' is one of the 27 stars used extensively as a ''nakṣatra''. The V-shaped pattern of Hyades is the ''śakaṭa''. There are no images available anywhere. However, the context where this name appears provides the clue. All texts have a chapter called ''grahayuti'', the mutual conjunctions of moon and planets and / or with the stars. The procedures are provided to compute the event. In this context, ''śakaṭa- bheda'' is a special event. The word literally means cutting through the cart or breaking the cart. This essentially means that the moon / planet will be within the V-shape of Haydes. The earliest text to mention this ''śiṣydhīvriddhidatantra'' of Lalla (Chatterjee, 1981). It provides the condition for the event (''śakaṭa-bheda'') as the ''dhruvaka'' 1<sup>R</sup>|16<sup>O</sup>|40’ and ''śara'' 4<sup>O</sup>|30’ S. These can be approximated as ecliptic longitude and latitude for small values of the latitude. 1R refers to the unit of 30<sup>O</sup>, R for Rāśi, the zodiacal sign. Therefore, dhruvaka is 46<sup>O</sup> |40’

The stellarium image of the Hyades region for the year 443CE. The date of ''śiṣydhīvriddhidatantra'' is assigned to be 8<sup>th</sup> century (Chattarjee, 1981). The precise date of the text is not known preventing the application of precession correction. There is also a clue that he was using a reference which was probably 400 years earlier to him, justifying the depiction shown. The fine tuning of the ecliptic longitude has been used so as to match with that given in the text. This clearly shows the marker within the V shape of the Hyades.

[[File:Rohini 443.jpg|thumb]]
The other texts which specifically refer to this event are ''Grahalāghava'', (16<sup>th</sup> century) by Ganeśa Daivajnya (Balachandra Rao and Padmaja, 2008) and Samanta Chandrashekhara in ''Siddhānta Darpaṅa'' (19<sup>th</sup> century) (Upadhyaya, online source). The latter states that the event is decided by the maximum value of ''śara'' possible for the planets, which is the same as the orbital inclination. According to him the event ''śakaṭa-bheda'' is possible for only ''budha'' and ''śukra'' (Mercury and Venus), rarely possible for ''śani'' (with ''parama śara'' as 2<sup>O</sup>|29’) and impossible for ''mangala'' (Mars).

Punarvasu (पुनर्वसु), "the twin-restorers of goods", is an Indian name, used by the Indian Vedic tradition. Most of these names are roughly 3000 years old. They pre-date Hinduism but were taken over by it. It is an asterism consisting of four stars, the brightest ones being alpha and beta Geminorum.
==Etymology and History==
'''Name Variants'''

* Punarvasu (the two restorers),
* Yamakau ("the two chariots")
* Aditerbha

=== Origin of Constellation ===
The name of the constellations is grammatically a dual, so it points to two similar stars/ asterisms. This way, it equals the idea of the Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian Twin-constellation where two bright stars head two similar, parallel chains of stars.

4 stars: α, β Geminorum are certain; the other two might be ε, ζ Gem
