The relationship between a star's temperature and brightness was discovered independently around 1910 by Ejnar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell. The relationship between these to parameters is depicted in a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram or H-R diagram.

The first to classify stars by their brightness was the Greek astronomer Hipparchus in the 2nd century BC. He ranked stars based on their apparent magnitude, with 1 being the brightest and 6 being the faintest.
