Star magnitudes. Brightness of stars are assigned a number starting with the brightest star starting at about-1 magnitude. Dimmer stars are zero or positive numbers. The larger the number means the dimmer the star is. For example, a star-1 magnitude is brighter than a star 0 magnitude.... Magnitude sequence for stars starting with the brightest is-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 magnitude,... With the invention of the telescope and modern equipment to measure star magnitudes the scale has been extended in both directions. Dimmer stars are assigned magnitudes larger than 6(6, 7, 8, 9,... 30th... etc.). 2, record 9, English, - magnitude
