How about according to star size?Eagle (talk) (desk) 18:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are size categories: super-giants, giants, main sequence stars and dwarfs. Distance or gas and dust make this a misleading standard. A super-giant star at a great distance or cocooned in a nebula may not even be visible to the naked eye. In this case size has nothing to do with apparent magnitude.

The brightest stars in our sky are the most familiar but a bright star in our sky, relatively close by (in astronomical terms), may not be very remarkable in terms of size or luminosity.

The most logical way to sub-divide this unwieldy stub category is by constellation.

Yeah, perhaps that's the best approach. Hoof38 03:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
