Supernovae are often brighter than stars; they can get bright enough to be seen during the day, although these are quite rare.

The Sun, the Moon, and some planets, comets and meteors are also brighter than stars.

A supernova explosion is brighter than stars since it releases a huge amount of energy and light in a short period of time. Additionally, quasars, which are extremely luminous active galactic nuclei, can also appear brighter than individual stars.

From earth, one might say the sun is brighter than the stars, except that the sun is itself a star. In earth's natural night sky, sunlight reflecting off the full moon outshines all other objects. The brightest objects in the sky from our perspective would be our local star (the sun), the moon, then Venus. There are a few fairly bright stars, then reflected sunlight off the planets Jupiter and Mars.

A supernova can temporarily outshine all the other stars within the galaxy containing it. That would make a supernova tremendously bright. Quasars, massive black holes within energetic radio galaxies, are also extremely bright when viewed from a polar perspective.

Groups of stars, such as clusters or galaxies. A typical galaxy can have hundreds of billions of stars. Also, quasars - as bright as a hundred typical galaxies.
