This is a list of stars arranged by their apparent magnitude – their brightness as observed from Earth. It includes all stars brighter than magnitude +2.50 in visible light, measured using a V-band filter in the UBV photometric system.
So far, 131 such objects have been found. Only 22 are bright enough to be visible without a telescope, for which the star's visible light needs to reach or exceed the dimmest brightness visible to the naked eye from Earth, 6.5 apparent magnitude. [1] The known 131 objects are bound in 94 stellar systems.
Prominent stars in the neighborhood of the Sun (center) This list of nearest bright stars is a table of stars found within 15 parsecs (48.9 light-years) of the nearest star, the Sun, that have an absolute magnitude of +8.5 or brighter, which is approximately comparable to a listing of stars more luminous than a red dwarf.
For a list of the brightest stars seen from Earth, see the list of brightest stars. There are three stars with over 1 million L ☉ and visible to the naked eye: WR 22, WR 24 and Eta Carinae. All of these stars are located in the Carina nebula.
It is the 2nd/3rd nearest individual star to the Solar System, and the fourth-brightest individual star in the night sky. Has one candidate exoplanet.

Green comet that will be visible from Earth for first time since ice age is undergoing unusual changes. ... Some of the faintest stars visible to the unaided eye have magnitudes of about 6.5.
The stellar burst, called a nova, will make it seem as if a new star is shining down on Earth. It won't stick around forever, though. It won't stick around forever, though.
