Apparent magnitude (m) is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object to an observer on Earth. An object's apparent magnitude depends...

stars arranged by their apparent magnitude – their brightness as observed from Earth. It includes all stars brighter than magnitude +2.50 in visible light...

First-magnitude stars are the brightest stars in the night sky, with apparent magnitudes lower (i.e. brighter) than +1.50. Hipparchus, in the 1st century...
