Welcome to Lunys Space. While we knock up some blog content here is a picture of a Aldeberan:

Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri) is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus and one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

It is an evolved K-type red giant roughly 44 times the Sun’s radius, having exhausted hydrogen in its core.

Aldebaran is approximately 65 light-years from Earth.

It appears to lie within the Hyades cluster, but this is a line-of-sight effect; Aldebaran is not a cluster member and is significantly closer.

It has a mass about 1.1–1.7 times the Sun and is on the red-giant branch, steadily brightening as it fuses helium in a shell around an inert core.
