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.
In doing so, he also developed the brightness scale still in use today. [1] Hipparchus compiled a catalogue with at least 850 stars and their positions. [ 2 ] Hipparchus's successor, Ptolemy , included a catalogue of 1,022 stars in his work the Almagest , giving their location, coordinates, and brightness.
Consequently, a magnitude 1 star is about 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star, about 2.5 2 times brighter than a magnitude 3 star, about 2.5 3 times brighter than a magnitude 4 star, and so on. This is the modern magnitude system, which measures the brightness, not the apparent size, of stars.
