Yale Bright Star Catalog

The Yale Bright Star Catalog is a comprehensive list of the most luminous stars visible in the night sky. Compiled by astronomers at Yale University, it includes detailed information about each star’s brightness, position, and other characteristics. The catalog serves as a fundamental resource for astronomers, navigators, and stargazers, providing a standardized reference for identifying and studying the brightest stars that are easily observable without telescopes. It helps track stellar data and supports research on stellar properties and celestial navigation.
