Top 10 Brightest Stars

Post by Airconvent »

Here's a very very very nice read about the 10 brightest stars in the night sky. I liked it alot and wished it was available in .lit format, so I can download it into my pda for reference!

And I would also like to take the opportunity to correct one boo-boo.
I've been telling trekkers that Vega is Spock's home planet Vulcan. As it turns out, it is Epsilon Eridanus instead.

Quote : "For Star Trek fans: Eridanus is home to Epsilon Eridanus, the star around which Mr. Spock’s home planet of Vulcan revolves."
