Why does Bellatrix has the brightest absolute magnitude?

The simple answer is that it does not. It is important to note that stars radiate across a whole range of electromagnetic frequencies, not just in the visible part of the spectrum. Astronomers use bolometric absolute magnitude to adjust for the fact that a star may be radiating much of their energy outside of the visible range. Using the bolometric absolute magnitude, the brightest star, with magnitude -12.5 is RMC136a1 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of 163000 light years.Among stars visible to the naked eye, Bellatrix does not even make it to the top ten in terms of its bolometric absolute magnitude. That distinction goes to P Cygni with an absolute magnitude of -9.7. It is 5900 light years away. In comparison, Bellatrix has a magnitude of only -2.64
