Albadaran is a celestial star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. Its spelling can be confusing to those unfamiliar with Arabic. The word consists of three syllables - al, ba, and daran - with emphasis on the second syllable. The "a" sound is pronounced as in "cat," and the "daran" combination is similar to the English word "darling," with a rolled "r" and emphasized "n" at the end. The IPA phonetic transcription for Albadaran is /ˌælbəˈdærən/.
