Where is Taurus?
During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, Taurus is above and to the right of the unmistakeable constellation Orion. If you follow the 3 stars of Orion's Belt, up to the right, you will come to a reddish looking star. This is Aldebaran. It is in Taurus. It is on one side of a v-shaped pattern of stars, all of which are part of Taurus. Further up and to the right you will see a cluster of stars called the Pleiades, often called the Seven Sisters, although there are more than 7 stars in the cluster. The Pleiades is also part of Taurus.
What does the nickname seven sisters refer to?

One of the stars in the star cluster Pleiades?
Technically this is called an "asterism", and it doesn't have to be a "mythological character", it can be any widely known and recognized pattern. For example, the Plough, the Big Dipper, and Charles' Wain are all asterisms representing a plow, a dipper, and a wagon respectively (they all also happen to be the exact same stars, which are a part of the constellation called Ursa Major, which itself is also the name of an asterism representing a bear). Other non-mythological asterisms include the Summer Triangle, the Southern Cross, the Great Square, Octans (a piece of navigational equipment), and Puppis (the back part of a ship, though admittedly the specific ship in question is from mythology; it's the one Jason - the one who was after the Golden Fleece - sailed).Laypeople (that is, people who aren't astronomers), and even some astronomers when talking to non-astronomers, use the more widely known word "constellation" when what they really mean is "asterism", but technically a constellation is specifically defined patch of sky. All the constellations (there are 88 official constellations, and between them they cover the entire sky) contain the asterism from which they take their name, but they also contain many, many other stars besides, most of which are too faint to see except through a telescope.
