The base of the Taurus constellation looks like an A if you flip it the right way. Taurus is a bull. Essentially, it's just different abstractions from a constellation.

Weird how both the constellation and the actual head of a bull look like an inverted capital A, almost like the constellation was invented because it looks like the actual head of a bull

i think the Hyades represent the face of the bull, and looks a lot like capital A, hard to call it a coincidence, currently visible early night on both hemispheres
