NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of nearest bright stars

The list of nearest bright stars is a table of stars found near the Sun that have an absolute magnitude of +8.5 or brighter. (This is approximately comparable to a listing of stars brighter than a main sequence red dwarf.) Right ascension and declination coordinates are for the year 2000. The distance measurements are based on the Hipparcos Catalogue and other astrometric data. In the event of a spectroscopic binary, the combined spectral type and absolute magnitude are listed in italics. Jump to: navigation, search The Sun is the star at the centre of our Solar system. ... Jump to: navigation, search In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away. ... Jump to: navigation, search Red Dwarf is a British science fiction comedy, created and originally written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. ... Right ascension (RA; symbol Î±: Greek letter alpha) is the astronomical term for one of the two coordinates of a point on the celestial sphere when using the equatorial coordinate system. ... In astronomy, declination (dec) is one of the two coordinates of the equatorial coordinate system, the other being either right ascension or hour angle. ... See Cartesian coordinate system or Coordinates (elementary mathematics) for a more elementary introduction to this topic. ... Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the year 2000. ... In astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue numbers. ... Astrometry is a part of astronomy and deals with the positions of stars and other celestial bodies, their distances and movements. ... A spectroscopic binary star is a binary star which cannot be resolved as a visual binary, even with telescopes of the highest existing resolving power. ... Jump to: navigation, search In astronomy, stellar classification is a classification of stars based initially on photospheric temperature and its associated spectral characteristics, and subsequenly refined in terms of other characteristics. ...

List of nearest bright stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (186 words)
	The list of nearest bright stars is a table of stars found within 15 parsecs of the Sun that have an absolute magnitude of +8.5 or brighter.
	These stars are estimated to be from 32.7 to 42.4 light years distant from the Sun.
	These stars are estimated to be from 42.5 to 48.9 light years distant from the Sun.

Star (Astronomy) K-12 Experiments for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects (1962 words)
	Star formation begins with gravitational instability inside those clouds, often triggered by shockwaves from supernovae or collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy).
	Eventually, most of the matter in a star is blown away by the explosion (forming nebulae such as the Crab Nebula) and what remains will be a neutron star (sometimes a pulsar or X-ray burster) or, in the case of the largest stars, a fl hole.
	The apparent brightness of a star is measured by its apparent magnitude.
