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.

Canis Major means "great dog". It was discovered by Ptolemy. It contains Sirius, the dog star. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky (after the sun). It has a right ascension of 7h. It has a declination of -20 degrees. 4 of its stars have planets. The "dog days of summer" are so called because Canis Major was visible during the hottest time of the year. It was sometimes considered as Orion's hunting dog. There is also a Canis Minor.
A star with a magnitude of 1 is the brightest, followed by a magnitude of 2 and then a magnitude of 3. The lower the magnitude, the brighter the star appears in the sky.
20?? man thats tough 1. sun 2. north star 3. 7 forming great bear( ursa major) 4. 7 stars in ursa minor ( north star is one of them) 5. proxima centauri/alpha centauri cinstellation
The constellation Puppis contains around 300 stars, with some of the brightest ones being Pi Puppis, Eta Puppis, and Zeta Puppis.

What we see as the north star, or Polaris or the pole star, is a binary system consisting of two stars. However, neither of these stars are the brightest stars. There are many stars that are much brighter as we see them.
Venus, and the Sun are the two brightest objects in the sky. The moon is also bright but only because it reflects the suns light back down to earth.

The North star is called Polaris. Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is not the brightest star in the night sky; that title goes to Sirius, in Canis Major. Polaris has 2 companion stars: Polaris AB and Polaris B. It's spectral type is F7 Ib-II SB.
2. No. The stars in the sky stay in their positions essentially all the time.It is the Earth that rotates, giving the illusion of the stars and Moon rising in the eastern sky.
A star with a magnitude of 1 is the brightest, followed by a magnitude of 2 and then a magnitude of 3. The lower the magnitude, the brighter the star appears in the sky.

There are lots of binary stars. Doing a search on "binary stars" should get you several. It seems that binary (or multiple) stars are about as common as single stars; at least, they are in the same order of magnitude.
Well this is really easy. 1. Florida 2. urANUS and 3. YO MOMMA!
