    I always thought Jupiter was the brightest star. Well, technically, not a star, but still, where I am (Turkey), it always shows up first, and it’s insanely bright.

      You’re correct that Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky besides (obviously) the sun and the moon.

      The brightest star is Sirius, near the constellation Orion.

      What do you mean “technically” not a star? Jupiter has absolutely nothing to do with being a star, it’s a planet.
