What is the brightest star in the sky that we can see?
…….star that we can see during night time and if that is the case, then the star you’re looking for would be Sirius. All the technical jargon and specifics of this star reads like something out of an advanced astronomy book so rather than place all of that in my answer, I will post a link to all this information so that everyone can follow up on it, if they wish to do so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius ggg ggggg A simulated image of Sirius A and B from Celestia. ggggg ggggg The image of Sirius A and Sirius B taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The white dwarf can be seen to the lower left. The diffraction spikes and concentric rings are instrumental effects. gggggg ggggggg
