The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter graph of known stars. It shows the absolute magnitudes (actual brightness at a set distance) versus the spectral type or classification (which is effectively what their temperature is). Stars, when plotted onto this graph, tend to fall into set patterns. The position of a star within a pattern (or sequence) can give further information, such as how old the star is.
