Default What are these stars?

By just using your eye, you can not tell the size of a Star, the light must
cross to far a disance to let us know. Like the winter dog star is the
brightest star in any of our skys and it is bigger the our sun, a lot
younger too, but is you look up in the weast now at arcturus it doesn't look
big, but is another 10 times bigger that that other star, it's also far
older than even our own star the sun.

If you want anybody to name this, you must come up with more information

a) At what part of the sky (north,south,east,west) did you see it, and
what time
b) did you see it without telescope/binocle
c) is size of stars compared to each other real, or is it just a picture
of the constellation

i can find many places in the sky where it looks like your image,
but without any clue to where you saw it i will not come up with any
suggestion
