✵✵✵✵✵ Measuring LIGHT in Astronomy
Just How Bright are stars, really?
From ancient times, people have been looking at the stars and deciding this one is brighter than that one. But how do you know if a star is actually brighter, or just closer to you? Astronomers use a wide variety of terms to distinguish between how bright a star LOOKS to us, and how much light it is actually producing. These terms can be very confusing! But we'll help you figure it all out.

Volta a fazer para o Brasil também, em meu curso encontrei sobre você, e desde então eu de fato aprendi, seu canal é direto e prático, somente me identifico aprender sobre formas de estudo com ele, nenhum outro até agora que conheco, é claro, objetivo e tão amplo, mas ao mesmo tempo acertivo no conteúdo aplicavél de forma prática. Quero falar que mesmo após 03 anos seu canal ainda continua ajudando muitos alunos como eu. Agradeçida e sempre sua fãn.

I found your channel in Portuguese and it's one of the best channels I've ever seen. Unfortunately the last video was from 3 years ago. It would be great to see you again in the socrática português.
