C Proxima Centauri, 4 light years away. D Sirius, 9 light years old. E Alpha Centauri, 14 billion light years old.

7 Constellations and designations of stars
Constellation = random collection of stars (figure) Stars’ names: Greek letter + constellation name Orionis (= Betelgeuse)  Orionis ( No special name) Canis Majoris (= Sirius) Lyrae (= Vega)

8 More star names Find: Leporis Geminorum Tauri A few distances:
Canis Maioris - 9 ly  Canis Maioris ly  Canis Maioris - 1,800 ly Canis Maioris ly 95% of the 6,000 naked-eye stars are at 50 to 500 ly: in the solar neighborhood. Inside Taurus!

A The Big Dipper is closer than Orion because the Big Dipper looks larger in the sky. B Orion is closer than the Big Dipper because Orion’s stars look brighter in the sky. C All constellations are at the same distance. D This question is nonsense because constellations are not real objects. E This question is nonsense because the distance to constellations changes as Earth revolves around the Sun. Next question coming …

B inside the Galaxy, but not necessarily in the vicinity of the Sun. C inside the Galaxy, and mostly in the vicinity D 50% inside the Galaxy, 50% outside. E nowhere close to the Galaxy, which is much farther away from us than the individual stars in the sky are.

14 Understand brightness of stars: the magnitude scale
An m = 10mg, star, need an amateur telescope to see it The Andromeda Galaxy m = 3mg in total An m = 17mg, star, need a professional telescope to see it Magnitudes mean brightness: • The larger the number, the fainter the object • One magnitude difference means a lot dimmer (2.5 times) A fifth magnitude star: m = 5mg,, just visible to the naked eye A third magnitude star: m = 3mg A second magnitude star: m = 2mg __ I A first magnitude star: m = 1mg m = 2.5 × lg I Vega

15 Example: stars in the Big Dipper
4.0 mg 1.9 mg 2.2 mg 3.3 mg 5.6 mg

B How bright the star appears in the sky. C How bright the star is in reality. D How large the star appears in the sky. E How large the star is in reality. Next question coming …

A The magnitude of a star does not refer to brightness at all, it refers to size. B The 1mg star is much brighter. C The 1mg star is a little brighter. D The 1mg star is much fainter. E The 1mg star is a little fainter. Next question coming …

A No, it can be seen by the naked eye. B Yes, but even binoculars will suffice. C Yes, a small amateur telescope is needed. D A fairly large amateur telescope or a small professional telescope is needed. E Pluto is only observable in the largest professional telescopes in the world.
