A B8 star (like one of the fainter members of the Pleiades) has an absolute magnitude of about M=0. At the distance of Price-Whelan 1 (remember to use parsecs!), how faint would its apparent magnitude be, and how much fainter is that than the faintest star you can see with your eyes (apparent magnitude 6)? SHOW YOUR WORK. Just writing down the answer gets zero credit. If a B8 star has about 4 solar masses, about how long does it...
