Is there a special feature found in Aquila?
A few interesting deep-sky objects in the constellation Aquila are: Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, one of the most massive structures in the Known Universe, is a dense conglomeration of galaxies near Aquila. NGC 6751 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila that looks like the iris of a human eye.
In which constellation will you find the bright star?
There are several bright stars.
Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star.
Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
Degenerate matter is extremely dense matter with characteristics governed by quantum mechanics. One of the notable traits is that temperature and pressure are independent of one another. Two forms of matter known to exist are electron degenerate matter, which comprises white dwarfs, and neutron degenerate matter, which comprises neutron stars.
What are the right ascension and declination of the star alderbaran in the constellation Taurus?

Apparent magnitude is the brightness as viewed from Earth
Absolute magnitude is the brightness as viewed from the same distance - 32 light years.
Therefore a star that is twice as bright but further away could have the same apparent magnitude but a different absolute magnitude.
What characteristic do stars in a constellation or asterism share?
There is normally no similarity between stars in a constellation or asterism other than the direction they are in relation to Earth. They are normally a collection of dimmer near by stars and brighter further away stars.
An example of this is the constellation Centaurus. AlphaCentauri is the closest star system to earth. It has 3 stars, Proxima Centauri which is about 4.2 light years and Alpha Centauri A and B that are 4.3 light years away.
On the other side Beta Centauri or Hadar is a bright star 350 light years away.
There are however examples where some or most of the stars are connected.
Take the asterism the big dipper or plough in the constellation Ursa Major. Merek (Beta Ursae Majoris), Phecda (Gamma Ursae Majoris), Megrez (Delta Ursae Majoris), Alioth (Epsilon Ursae Majoris) and Mizar (Zeta Ursae Majoris) all seem to be about the same distance from Earth (between 78 and 84 light years) and all seem to be moving in the same direction. They are known as the Ursa Major Moving Group.
Only Dubhe (Alpha Ursae Majoris) and Alkaid (Eta Ursae Majoris) do not seem to be connected.
How far away is the little dipper?
Any constellation is a group of stars that appear to form some kind of pattern,
but have no connection with each other. They all happen to be in roughly the
same direction from us, but they're all at different distances. So there's no
such thing as a constellation's distance from us.
