Brightest star in the night sky
First-magnitude stars are the brightest stars in the night sky, with apparent magnitudes lower than +1.50. Hipparchus, in the 1st century BC, introduced the magnitude scale. He allocated the first magnitude to the 20 brightest stars and the sixth magnitude to the faintest stars visible to the naked eye. Wikipedia
