Details:
The Moon illuminates Taurus the Bull's nose like Rudolph the Reindeer's nose does him. The Winter Hexagon is a harbinger of the winter to come, containing perhaps the largest concentration of 1st-magnitude stars in the sky. It's chock full of goodies for those with telescopes, which currently includes comet C/2020 M3 ATLAS passing near Rigel headed north and marked by the red crosshairs.
