Well, darling, the two brightest stars in the sky are Sirius and Canopus. Now, how can you identify them, you ask? Just look up and find the brightest point of light - that's probably Sirius. Canopus is a bit trickier to spot, you might need to head to the Southern Hemisphere to catch a glimpse of that badass star.
