The apparent magnitude (m) of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. The brighter an object appears, the lower its magnitude value (i.e. inverse relation). The Sun, at apparent magnitude of â27, is the brightest object in the sky.
McGill University. Built in 1821, McGill University is the oldest university in Montreal, Quebec's largest city. The university was founded by Scottish merchant James McGill, and that accounts for the university being an English-language school. McGill covers an expanse of two campuses with 11 faculties of study and 300 disciplines.
A large proportion of Quebec's English-speaking population resides in or near Montreal. Most reside on the Island of Montreal, particularly in the West Island and in the western half of Montreal's urban core, where there is a network of English language educational, social, cultural, economic, and medical institutions.
