⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Capella ✨ – Brightest star in the constellation Auriga Capella is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has the Bayer designation α Aurigae, which is Latinised to Alpha Aurigae and abbreviated Alpha Aur or α Aur. Capella is the sixth-brightest star in the night sky, and the third-brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere after Arcturus and Vega. A prominent object in the northern sky, it is circumpolar to observers north of 44°N. Its name meaning "little goat" in Latin, Capella depicted the goat Amalthea that suckled Zeus in classical mythology. Capella is relatively close, at 42.9 light-years. It is one of the brightest X-ray sources in the sky, thought to come primarily from the corona of Capella Aa. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capella

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Theta Centauri ✨ – Star in the constellation Centaurus Theta Centauri or θ Centauri, officially named Menkent, is a single star in the southern constellation of Centaurus, the centaur. With an apparent visual magnitude of +2.06, it is the fourth-brightest member of the constellation. Based on parallax measurements obtained during the Hipparcos mission, it is about 58.8 light-years distant. It has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.73 arcsecond/yr. This suggests that Menkent may have originated in the outer disk of the Milky Way and is merely passing through the solar neighborhood. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_Centauri

With a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46, Sirius is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. Sirius is a binary star consisting of a main-sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B. The distance between the two varies between 8.2 and 31.5 astronomical units as they orbit every 50 years. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Sun ✨ – Star at the centre of the Solar System The Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System. It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. The Sun has been an object of veneration in many cultures and a central subject for astronomical research since antiquity. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Alkaid ✨ – Star in the constellation Ursa Major Alkaid, also called Eta Ursae Majoris, is a star in the constellation of Ursa Major. It is the easternmost star in the Big Dipper asterism. However, unlike most stars of the Big Dipper, it is not a member of the Ursa Major moving group. With an apparent visual magnitude of +1.86, it is the third-brightest star in the constellation and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaid

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Spica ✨ – Star in the constellation Virgo Spica is the brightest object in the constellation of Virgo and one of the 20 brightest stars in the night sky. It has the Bayer designation α Virginis, which is Latinised to Alpha Virginis and abbreviated Alpha Vir or α Vir. Analysis of its parallax shows that it is located 250±10 light-years from the Sun. It is a spectroscopic binary star and rotating ellipsoidal variable; a system whose two stars are so close together they are egg-shaped rather than spherical, and can only be separated by their spectra. The primary is a blue giant and a variable star of the Beta Cephei type. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spica

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Deneb ✨ – Blue supergiant star in the constellation Cygnus Deneb is a blue supergiant star in the constellation of Cygnus. It is the brightest star in the constellation and the 19th brightest in the night sky, with an apparent magnitude slightly varying between +1.21 and +1.29. Deneb is one of the vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle and the "head" of the Northern Cross. Its Bayer designation is α Cygni, which is Latinised to Alpha Cygni, abbreviated to Alpha Cyg or α Cyg. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deneb

⭐️ Your daily star: ✨ Alpha Cassiopeiae ✨ – Star in the constellation Cassiopeia Alpha Cassiopeiae or α Cassiopeiae, also named Schedar, is a second-magnitude star in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. Though listed as the "alpha star" by Johann Bayer, α Cas's visual brightness closely matches the 'beta' (β) star in the constellation and it may appear marginally brighter or dimmer, depending on which passband is used. However, recent calculations from NASA's WISE telescope confirm that α Cas is the brightest in Cassiopeia, with an apparent magnitude of 2.240. Its absolute magnitude is 18 times greater than β Cas, and it is located over four times farther away from the Sun. 💫 Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Cassiopeiae
