Today:
About one quarter of the way up, at around 6:10 PM, you’ll find the bluish star Deneb squarely in the northwest. Deneb in the 14th-brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. Such a ranking is impressive considering how far away Deneb is. It’s so far away that estimates vary considerably as to it exact distance, ranging between 1,600 and 2,600 light years. Among the 16 brightest stars, the next closest is Rigel, at roughly 860 light years.
