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".
