Description: (b) Astronomers denote the brightnesses of objects in the sky by their apparent magnitudes. Stars visible to the naked eye have magnitudes between m = –1.44 (Sirius) and about m = +6.0. However, CCD (charge-coupled device) photography through the Hubble Space Telescope or a large Earth-based telescope can reveal stars and other objects nearly as faint as magnitude m = +30.
