Look up. These are the 8,920 stars of magnitude 6.5 or brighter, the classical limit of the naked eye, each placed where it stands over you at this moment and turning with the sky in real time. Below the horizon is the ground. Stars low in the sky are dimmed by the thicker air, as they are outside, and the faintest of them drop out there. Each star's size follows its brightness and its color follows its measured color index.
