Is there a star as big as Jupiter?

What is that bright looking star or planet that is not the north star and is far brighter?
The north star Polaris is actually fairly dim; of the 58 stars used for celestial navigation, Polaris is the dimmest. We wouldn't pay any attention to it at all, except for the happy accident that it is (for now) almost directly above the North Pole of the Earth. Purely happenstance. If you are asking this question on September 17, 2010, the "bright star" you see is probably the planet Jupiter. It rises in the East just after sunset, and will be the brightest thing in the sky (except for the Sun and Moon) for the next month or so. If your bright star is close to the western horizon at sunset, it may be the planet Venus, which is the "evening star" in this season. If you have a small telescope or pair of binoculars, be sure to go outside and have a look; this is as close as Earth will come to Jupiter until 2022. You will probably be able to see the four "galilean" moons of Jupiter.
