A magnitude 1 star is about 2.512 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star. The exact factor is the fifth root of 100 - this means that a difference of 5 magnitudes is equivalent to a brightness factor of 100.
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to our Solar System and the third brightest star. It is located 4.367 light years away from Earth.

On the lighter side... Yes I am a star; I am Acamar or as I am properly called, "Theta Eridani" (but that's just my stage name). I am a star in the constellation Eridanus. I am actually a double star, as astronomy experts call me. Ptolemy declared I was "a first-magnitude star" which is quite a distinction I think since Ptolemy was such a scholarly Roman. He recognized my "star quality" early on; in fact, he may have "discovered" me as he studied the night skies, even though I'm at least 120 light-years from where he stood on Earth. Throughout history, other astronomers noticed me too, since I'm one of the brightest stars in the sky! Though I've starred a long, long time, regretfully, I have never received any award. But I know, to paraphrase the famous words of Sally Field, that people do "like me; they really, really like me!"
Dschubba is a binary star system with two stars: a blue star and a white dwarf star. The blue star is the primary star and the white dwarf is the secondary star.
in a BTEC level 2 course it goes pass=C Merit=B Distinction=A Star Distinction=A*

to get a distinction in cxc you must obtain a straight A profile !! you can get a one but have an 'a' and a 'b' but that is not a distinction , a distinction is all "a's"
distinction is almost impossible to get you have to be the best and get 100 to have distinction
distinction
