Aldebaran

I chose this star because it is the brightest star in the constellation Taurus as one of the bull's eyes, and is the 13th brightest star in the sky. Since it is so bright and prominent, it has also been honored as one of the four royal stars in ancient Persia. Its name comes from the Arabic term for "The Follower", pertaining to a hunter following prey, and it this case being the star cluster Pleiades. Aldebaran is called the Eye of Revelation and is often referred to by astronomers and cosmetologist as the Eastern Royal Star. Also, it carries a mass of about 1.7 time that of the suns, but its surface temperature is less (4010 Kelvin versus 5780 Kelvin of the sun)
