Two stars may look, for us, like they have about the same brightness, but it may be that one is a hundred times farther away... and 10,000 times brighter. The two things cancel out in this example. The "absolute brightness" tells us how bright a star or other object REALLY is. It is defined as how bright the object looks at a standard distance.

Is there a literary device called absolute?
An absolute is a word free from limitations or qualifications (best, all, unique, perfect, etc.) Yes. In writing, particularly in the Classical languages Latin and Greek, an absolute is a part of a sentence that has no grammatical connection to the rest, but describes the conditions surrounding the action of the main verb. For example, an absolute begins the sentence "Our work finished, we left early." In Latin, nouns and adjectives in absolute phrases are in the ablative case; in Greek they are in the genitive. In English, of course, there is no case distinction.
