Brook trout are beautiful fish. Although the intensity of the color may vary, they often have vibrant golden specks on an olive/green to to dark brown background with subtle blue, red, and purple specks mixed in. There are less specks on the very top of the fish which is darker and on the bottom where it becomes a brilliant yellow-orange-red.
As a symbol or emblem, the five-pointed star, or mullet of five points, arises from classical heraldry, and it shares none of the esoteric or occult associations given to the pentagram, or Seal of Solomon, since at least the Renaissance period.
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Astronomers rate the magnitude of a star with a scale that gives brighter stars a low number and dim stars a higher number. Each whole number on this scale is 2.5 times dimmer than the previous number. The brightest star the night sky is Sirius. With a magnitude of -1.46, it is almost 15 times brighter than a star with a magnitude of zero. Stars with a magnitude of 8 or more are too dim to see with the naked eye. Stars are identified by their color, which indicates their temperature.
