the following stars are the brightest in the sky to the naked eye
in order of magnitude. name? each star and their names? the constellations? their magnitude? Please name all the stars names in order please? hint over 20 star names? name the constellation and their meaning? and their Magnitude?
Reason for this is to see just how many astonomers, and astrologers, clearly know their field of work? Thank you, and please no jokes, this is serious guys!! as it depends on how some people can be fooled, which is a naughty thing! And to see how many of you in both groups of subjects, truly know what they say. Do not go to Wiki, either, as I will know! Thank you so much only the serious please!

prof. Z, I am already not a happy camper with you, as I just read your profile, and you have a phd, in Astronomy? How could you not know? you dont have to get upset with astrologers either, just because you may not believe, they to must rely on the stars , and what goes with all the questions being asked. I am sure you have a book that when you got your PHD pretty big stuff you know,, so then use this. I cant imagine, you being my teacher, if you cant name all in order and in speed, how big, or any thing like this,, so please if all people you would know. except for me of course~lol, but true...

An Astrologer is somebody who's information lies in interpreting the zodiac components of stars/planets/zodiac indications and the strikes of the planets. case in point an Astrologer could nicely be taught the strikes of the planets and stars to make up beginning charts and supply somebody their zodiac sign by way of those strikes. An Astronomer is someone who's information lies in interpreting the planets, stars, galaxies, area, moons and so on. case in point an Astronomer examine the celebs at nighttime and the moon for a extra advantageous information of area and planets. wish this helps :)

wanna hear something funny?

i worked at an observatory for awhile and i can't tell Virgo from Libra.

these days its NICE to know some visual astronomy, but hardly required. the absolute BEST ppl to ask this question to are amateur astronomers. those guys know EVERYTHING!

check out a local astronomy club or go to a observatory party. (i used to avoid them... they NEVER asked about orbital paradigms or stellar models, they wanna know about 'arc to arcturus' and stuff i don't remember.)

"...the following stars are the brightest in the sky to the naked eye..."

Uh...er...I think you left out something, like the list of stars

If you seriously think that rote memorization and listing of star and constellation names constitutes "clearly knowing their field of work" or "GET THE MIND WORKING PLEASE" then you are seriously deluded about both astronomy AND astrology, not to mention the nature of knowledge itself.

Err... who died and made you the head of the exam committee?

But I am very curious how you will distinguish between those who know and those who look it up. You must have some truly magical powers, my friend.
