There are several bright stars.
Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star.
Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
