Absolute Brightness

Absolute brightness represents the total amount of energy emitted from a celestial object. It is the measure of the true brightness of a star or other celestial object as it would be as seen from a standard distance of exactly 10 parsecs (32.6 light-yea rs). The more luminous an object, the smaller the numerical value of its absolute magnitude or brightness.
