Since Tolimar does not have comments on his blog, I have to reply to this post about the brightest star here: The brightest star for beings living on the earth (yes, besides the sun itself...) is not the polar star, but Sirius! The polar star has with 2.0 a quite lower apparent magnitude than Sirus with a mag of -1.5.
That being said, it still is nice to see stars...
Have something to say? You can post a comment by sending an e-Mail to me at <mail@joachim-breitner.de>, and I will include it here.
