From Bharani (May 1) to Alcyone in the Pleiades (May 16) there were 15 days. Which means that in May 16 the Northern Fly asterism (Musca Borealis) would have returned to visibility (after having been too close to the blinding rays from the rising Sun), signifying that the Sun now had reached Alcyone.
