This is a list of hottest stars so far discovered (excluding degenerate stars), arranged by decreasing temperature. The stars with temperatures higher than 60,000 K are included. List
If this object were 10 parsecs away from Earth it would appear nearly as bright in the sky as the Sun (apparent magnitude −26.744). This quasar's luminosity is, therefore, about 2 trillion (10 12) times that of the Sun, or about 100 times that of the total light of average large galaxies like our Milky Way. (Note that quasars often vary ...
Fifth brightest star in the night sky. [71] Altair (α Aquilae) 2.01 × 1.57 [104] Twelfth brightest star in the night sky. Sirius (α Canis Majoris A) 1.713 [105] AD The brightest star in the night sky. Rigil Kentaurus (α Centauri A) 1.2175 [106] AD Third brightest star in the night sky. Sun: 1: The largest object in the Solar System.
The Sun is the brightest star as viewed from Earth, at −26.78 mag. The second brightest is Sirius at −1.46 mag. For comparison, the brightest non-stellar objects in the Solar System have maximum brightnesses of: the Moon −12.7 mag [1] Venus −4.92 mag; Jupiter −2.94 mag; Mars −2.94 mag; Mercury −2.48 mag; Saturn −0.55 mag [2]
Scorpius X-1 is some 9,000 ly from Earth and after the Sun is the strongest X-ray source in the sky at energies below 20 keV. Its X-ray output is 2.3 × 10 31 W, about 60,000 times the total luminosity of the Sun. [ 11 ] Scorpius X-1 itself is a neutron star.
TikTok’s hottest song came out of nowhere. The “All TikTok Mashup (Upside Down),” recorded by singer JVKE, has been featured in more than 7.8 million videos on the app. The track, which ...
For comparison, the Sun loses (2–3) × 10 −14 solar masses per year due to its solar wind, several hundred million times less than WR 102. These winds and the strong ultraviolet radiation from the hot star have compressed and ionised the surrounding interstellar material into a complex series of arcs described as the bubble type of Wolf ...
A new song from contemporary Christian singer Matthew West drew ire from TikTok users and their parents after it went viral. The song "Modest is Hottest" and its accompanying music video were ...
