List of brightest stars

This is a list of the brightest naked eye stars to +2.50 magnitude, as determined by their maximum, total or combined apparent visual magnitudes as seen from Earth. Although several of the brightest stars are also known close binary or multiple star systems, they do appear to the naked eye as single stars. The given list below combines/adds the magnitudes of bright individual components.

List

Apparent visual magnitudes of the brightest star can also be compared to non-stellar objects in our Solar System. Here the maximum visible magnitudes above the brightest star, Sirius (-1.46), are as follows. Other than the Sun, the brightest object is the Moon (−12.7), Venus (−4.89), Jupiter (−2.94), Mars (−2.91), Mercury (−2.45), and Saturn (−0.49).

Any exact order of the visual brightness of stars is not perfectly defined for the following reasons:

  • Stellar brightness were traditionally based on the apparent visual magnitude as perceived by the human eye, from the brightest stars of 1st magnitude to the faintest at 6th magnitude. Since the invention of the telescope and the discovery of double or binary stars meant that star brightness could be expressed as either individual (separate) or total (combined). The table is ordered by combined magnitude of all components that appear to the naked eye as if it were a single star, with the magnitudes of any individual components bright enough to make a detectable contribution included in parentheses. For example, the total or combined magnitude of the double star Alpha Centauri is −0.27, while its two component stars have magnitudes of +0.01 and +1.33.

    Brightest Star

    by: Pacifier / Shihad

    When you go against the grain
    do you know just how beautiful you are
    when there's nothing left to say
    you're the brightest star
    When there's nothing left to say
    do you know just how beautiful you are
    when you go against the grain
    you're the brightest star
    When you go against the grain
    do you know just how beautiful you are
    when there's nothing left to say
    you're the brightest star
    We're like the water at the edge of a wave
    that gets left upon the shore
    dissapears into the sand
    and was seen no more
