List of nearest bright stars

File:3 Solar Interstellar Neighborhood (ELitU).png

Prominent stars in the neighborhood of the Sun (center)

The following nearest bright stars are found within Template:Convert of the closest star, the Sun, and have an absolute magnitude of +8.5 or brighter, which is approximately comparable to a listing of stars more luminous than a red dwarf. Right ascension and declination coordinates are for the epoch J2000. The distance measurements are based on the Hipparcos Catalogue and other astrometric data. In the event of a spectroscopic binary, the combined spectral type and absolute magnitude are listed in italics.

The list is ordered by increasing distance.
