The last stars in the list are familiar nearby stars put there for comparison, and not among the most luminous known. It may also interest the reader to know that the Sun is more luminous than approximately 95% of all known stars in the local neighbourhood (out to, say, a few hundred light years), due to enormous numbers of somewhat less ...
Most stars on this list appear bright from Earth because they are nearby, not because they are intrinsically luminous. For a list which compensates for the distances, converting the apparent magnitude to the absolute magnitude, see the list of most luminous stars. Some major asterisms, which feature many of the brightest stars in the night sky
The most luminous known asymptotic giant branch star. [20] Widely recognised as being among the largest known stars. [21] NML Cygni < 1,350 +195 −229 [c] AD Surrounding dusty region is very complex making the radius hard to determine. [22] Stephenson 2 DFK 2 1,300 ± 300 [12] L/T eff: Another red supergiant, Stephenson 2 DFK 1 has an ...
The following is a list of particularly notable actual or hypothetical stars that have their own articles in Wikipedia, but are not included in the lists above. BPM 37093 — a diamond star Cygnus X-1 — X-ray source
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.
The Golden Globes aired Sunday night and the unofficial kickoff to Hollywood’s award season served glamour, laughs and a few sentimental tears.. Globe voters honored TV and films that explored ...
NGC 2363 is a star-forming region in the Magellanic galaxy NGC 2366 which is located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It contains NGC 2363-V1, a luminous blue variable star which is 6,300,000 times more luminous than the Sun and one of the most luminous stars known. It can be seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image as the bright isolated ...
VHK 83 (Var 83 in the VHK survey [6]) is a luminous blue variable (LBV) in the constellation Triangulum, in the Triangulum Galaxy.With its bolometric luminosity of at least 2,240,000 times that of the Sun (4,500,000 in some estimates), it was described as "the brightest nonstable star in M33" [6] and is one of the most luminous stars known.
