Canopus
The second brightest star in the night sky/Stars
Canopus is a bright giant star in the constellation Carina and the second brightest star visible from Earth. It is roughly 10,000 times more luminous than the Sun, yet sits 310 light-years away, which gives you some idea of just how furiously it burns. Spacecraft including Voyager and Mars missions have used it as a reference point for navigation.
