Wolf 359

A red dwarf who hosts its own podcast. How cute! It is also is one of the other closest stars to the Sun. And against all odds, it's beaten it.

Kepler's Supernova

A massive supernova that happened in 1604 and was observed and recorded by Many. This is the most recent one that was unquestionably seen with the naked eye. It's not really a star anymore, but that's fine.

Which is the better star?

Arcturus

The alpha star of Boötes. It’s the fourth brightest star in the night sky (behind Sirius, Canopus and Alpha Centauri AB) and is a K-type giant. It’s probably one of the more easily identifiable stars in the spring-summer sky.
