The magnitude system dates back roughly 2000 years to the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (or the Alexandrian astronomer Ptolemy—references vary) who classified stars by their apparent brightness, which they saw as size (magnitude means "bigness, size" ). To the unaided eye, a more prominent star such as Sirius or Arcturus appears larger than a less prominent star such as Mizar, which in turn appears larger than a truly faint star such as Alcor. In 1736, the mathematician John Keill described the ancient naked-eye magnitude system in this way: > The fixed Stars appear to be of different Bignesses, not because they really > are so, but because they are not all equally distant from us. Those that are > nearest will excel in Lustre and Bigness; the more remote Stars will give a > fainter Light, and appear smaller to the Eye.
