What is pictured is the brightest star visible in the sky on the night November 10th is the star known as Capella. Capella is very similar to the Sun in that their brightness and color are almost the exact same. Capella is the brightest yellow star visible in the sky at night. Capella actually consists of two stars, Capella A and B. They emit 50-80x more light than the sun. Currently Capella is in a transitional phase. This phase of them being smaller, hotter stars to larger, cooler stars. If far enough to the north, Capella can be seen year round. Capella is the brightest star in the constellation Auriga the Charioteer. The four other stars that make up this constellation are known as Beta, Theta, Kappa, and Gamma. This constellation is named after the Greek god Posideon.
