the binary system Rigil.Īs it turns out, the eye senses brightness logarithmically, so each increase in 5 magnitudes corresponds to a decrease in brightness by a factor 100. This is not the same as a list of the brightest stars as seen with the naked eye, as close binary or multiple star systems will appear as a single star with an apparent magnitude greater than their individual components, e.g. The stellar distances are only fairly accurate for stars well within 1000 light years The brightest stars in the night sky (listed below) are either some of our nearest neighbours or highly luminous stars that lie at greater distances.Sirius, the brightest star in the Earth's sky, lies only 8.60 light years away and is one of the nearest stars to the Sun.With twice the Sun's mass and a radius 1.711 times solar, it is 25.4 times more luminous than the Sun Below are listed the 91 brightest individual stars in order of their average apparent magnitudes in the visible spectrum as seen from Earth. This is every star brighter than magnitude 3.55. This is a list of the 300 brightest stars made using data from the Hipparcos catalogue.
