STARS AND CONSTELLATION

FAST FACT

THE STAR THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE EARTH IS THE SUN.

A STAR IS A GIGANTIC, GLOWING BALL OF PLASMA.

STARS GIVE OFF A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY IN THE FORM OF LIGHT AND
HEAT.

MOST STARS ARE BETWEEN 1 BILLION AND 10 BILLION YEARS OLD.

STARS SEEM TO TWINKLE BECAUSE THEIR LIGHT TRAVELS THROUGH THE EARTHS
ATMOSPHERE AND THE TURBULENCE IN THE ATMOSPHERE AFFECTS THE WAY STARS ARE
SEEN.

ALL THE STARS THAT MAKE UP THE MILKY WAY GALAXY REVOLVE AROUND THE
CENTER OF THE GALAXY ONCE EVERY 200 MILLION YEARS OR SO.

MANY STARS THAT SEEMED SINGLE TO OUR NAKED EYE ARE ACTUALLY DOUBLE STARS
OR GROUP OF STARS. GIVEN THE ENORMOUS DISTANCE, IT SEEMED LIKE ONE STAR.
ALSO, A BRIGHT STAR MAY ACTUALLY BE A FAINT STAR THAT APPEARS BRIGHTER
BECAUSE IT IS CLOSER TO THE EARTH.

EXIST 88 CONSTELLATIONS OF THE SKY, THE BEST KNOWN ARE THE TWELVE ZODIAC,
EACH REPRESENTING AN ANIMAL

CANCER IS REPRESENTING WITH A CRAB AND LEO IS REPRESENTING WITH A LION
