C. Presenting examples What is star?

/ instances of the
new lesson A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to
Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night, but their immense
distances from Earth make them appear as fixed points of light.

Stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust in space. These clouds collapse under their
own gravity, and as they do, they heat up. Eventually, the temperature at the center of the
cloud becomes hot enough for nuclear fusion to begin. Nuclear fusion is a process in which
two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a new nucleus, releasing a large amount of
energy in the process.

A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a
perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or
inanimate object. The origins of the earliest constellations likely go back to prehistory.

Constellations are useful in assisting astronomers and navigators to locate certain stars. For
example, the constellation Orion is home to the bright stars Betelgeuse and Rigel, as well
as the Orion Nebula.

There are 88 officially recognized constellations, and they are divided into three main
groups: the zodiac constellations, the northern constellations, and the southern
constellations. The zodiac constellations are the 12 constellations that lie along the ecliptic,
the path that the Sun appears to take across the sky over the course of a year.
 The northern constellations are the constellations that can be seen from the
Northern Hemisphere.
 The southern constellations are the constellations that can be seen from the
Southern Hemisphere.
 Constellations are a fascinating part of astronomy, and they have been used for
centuries to help people understand the night sky.

Here are some of the most famous constellations:

stars. Orion is visible in the night sky from November to
February, but it can be clearly seen every January.
 Cassiopeia (The Queen) is visible all throughout the year but is
best seen every November at 9 pm. It has a W-shaped asterism
consisting of five stars.

The Crux (Southern Cross) is constellation in the Southern

Hemisphere. It is the smallest among the 88 constellations.
Crux is visible from March to May, but it can be clearly seen
every 9 pm of May.

The Polar Constellation

There are some constellations that can be seen only during certain seasons of the year.
These are called North Polar Constellations and South Polar Constellations. The
constellations nearest the center of the circle can be seen throughout the year.
The people living in the Northern Hemisphere see constellations different from those
living in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pisces “The Fishes” February and March 2/19-3/20

Please note that these are just general guidelines. The exact dates and times of visibility
will vary depending on your location and the time of year.

Usefulness of Constellations
Since ancient times, constellations are always helpful to people. They used
the appearance of certain stars to forecast the weather. When stars are
visible, they expect fair weather. But, when stars are hidden behind the
clouds, the next day, may be cloudy or rainy.
Constellations are helpful to navigators, too. Navigators use their
knowledge in astronomy in the conduct of their work. When the navigators
are lost at sea, they refer to Polaris, which is in Ursa Minor. They use
Polaris as their guiding star. Polaris is a fixed star. It is located at the North.
By using Polaris, it is easy to find south, east, and west directions

What are local myths and folklore about stars:

In the Philippines, there is a myth that the stars are the souls of people who
have died. The brighter the star, the more virtuous the person was in life.

Explain: The myth that the stars are the souls of people who have died is
not true. This myth is often used to explain the beauty and mystery of the
night sky, but it is not based in scientific fact.

The stars are actually giant balls of gas that are millions or billions of
light-years away. They are not made up of anything that could possibly be
the soul of a person.
 The idea that the brighter the star, the more virtuous the person was in life
is also not true. The brightness of a star has nothing to do with the person
who may have been born under it.

G. Finding practical Practical Application

applications of
concepts and skills There are many practical applications of star patterns that can be seen at particular times of
in daily living the year. Some of these applications include:

 Navigation: Star patterns can be used to navigate in the night sky. This was a
common practice for sailors and travelers in the past, and it is still used by some
people today.
 Timekeeping: Star patterns can be used to keep track of time. This was also a
common practice in the past, and it is still used by some people today, especially
in rural areas where there is no access to electricity.
 Astronomy: Star patterns can be used to study astronomy. This includes learning
about the different constellations, the planets, and the stars.
 Culture: Star patterns have also been used in culture. For example, some cultures
use star patterns to tell stories or to predict the future.
In addition to these practical applications, star patterns can also be enjoyed for their beauty
and mystery. Stargazing is a popular activity in the Philippines, and it is a great way to
relax and connect with nature.
H. Making Generalizations
Generalizations and
abstractions about The Philippines is located in the tropics, which means that it is close to the
the lesson
equator. This means that the stars in the night sky are visible for a longer period of
 time than in other parts of the world. The following are some of the star patterns
that can be seen at particular times of the year in the Philippines:

Orion: This constellation is visible in the Philippines from October to May. It is

one of the most easily recognizable constellations in the night sky. Orion is made
up of seven bright stars, which form the shape of a hunter.
Pleiades: This constellation is visible in the Philippines from December to May. It
is also known as the "Seven Sisters" or the "Tres Marias." The Pleiades are a
group of seven young stars that are located about 440 light-years from Earth.
Southern Cross: This constellation is visible in the Philippines from May to
September. It is one of the most important constellations in the Southern
Hemisphere. The Southern Cross is made up of four bright stars that form a cross
shape.
Milky Way: The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars. It is
visible in the Philippines all year round, but it is best seen during the summer
months when the skies are clear.
In addition to these well-known constellations, there are many other star patterns
that can be seen in the Philippine night sky. With a little patience and a clear sky,
you can enjoy the beauty of the stars and learn more about the night sky.

V. REMARKS
VI. REFLECTION The saying "the darker the night, the brighter the stars" is a metaphor for the idea that
challenges and difficulties can make us stronger and more resilient. When we are faced with
adversity, we can choose to give up or to persevere. If we choose to persevere, we will often
find that we are stronger and more capable than we ever thought possible. The stars in the
night sky represent our potential and our ability to overcome challenges. When the night is
dark, the stars shine even brighter. This is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there
is always hope.
