I always thought Jupiter was the brightest star. Well, technically, not a star, but still, where I am (Turkey), it always shows up first, and it's insanely bright.
What do you mean "technically" not a star? Jupiter has absolutely nothing to do with being a star, it's a planet.
It fucking shines in the sky like a big bright twinkle star, motherfucker ✨️
You're correct that Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky besides (obviously) the sun and the moon.
The brightest star is Sirius, near the constellation Orion.
