Why all the BS about the difference between ABSOLUTE magnitude and APPARENT
magnitude? Our own sun has an ABSOLUTE magnitude of +4.85 (if viewed from 10
parsecs distance from earth, standard definition). Isn't the APPARENT
magnitude, even on a cloudy day, something brighter than +4.85? Unless you
were looking for the sun at midnight I suppose, which could not be
discounted based on the moronic replies I have seen here.
