No. They actually mean, "One of the brighter stars people are more familiar with."Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Even that could be a stretch. There are plenty in the galaxy we haven't seen yet I think. In fact, I'm pretty sure we haven't seen most of the stars in the galaxy.Originally posted by Elok View Post"Second biggest star in the universe?"

That's true, but the two factors to magnitude are distance and brightness. The galaxy is pretty big, if there were a large star on the opposite side of the galaxy would we be able to see it? I don't know.Originally posted by gribbler View PostSure, but the big ones are probably easier to find...If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
