The brightest star that is not the sun is Sirus. Sirus is a 1st magnitude star. Sirus is 8.7 light years away from Earth, which is not to far away(for a star at least). Sirus is obviously not too big but is very bright and close to Earth! Sirus is in the constellation Canis Major, which in English means "Big Dog".

Well there you have it the brightest star! If you need any more help with stars or constellations just leave a message on my message board and I will try my best to give an understandable explanation. Well Ta Ta for now (ttfn) P.S. my user name is bingo22.
