Lynch: Brightest star seen most often is a goat
Lynch: Brightest star seen most often is a goat: Do you know the name of the brightest night time star we see most often? Yes, this is a trick question. It's not Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky that we see this time of year. It's not Polaris the North Star; and it's not the planets Jupiter or Venus. No, the brightest star we see most often in the skies is Capella, which is an Arabic name that translates to English as 'she goat.' Our bright star is a lady goat.
