What is a star?
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of
hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat
from the churning nuclear forges inside their
cores.
Stars differ in many ways according to their
characteristics: brightness, color, surface
temperature and size.
Johann Bayer is the scientist
who named the stars and
assigned them to a
constellation. He was born in
Germany in 1572 and died
there in 1625. He wrote a book
called Uranometria in 1603,
which explained how he had
identified and named the stars.
