Stars and Constellations.

Hello!

Today I will share an investigation for my class, which is about a subject that I really like.

  1. A star is a gigantic, glowing ball of plasma.

2. The sun is a star, the closest one to earth.

3. There are stars in the sky during the day, but we can´t see them because the sky is too light. Except, of course, the sun.

4. How bright a star looks to us depends on how light it gives off and how near it is earth.

5. The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius. It can be seen in winter, near constellation Orion.

6. A constellation is a group of stars visible in a particular region of the night sky.

7. If you are on the equator you can view all the constellations in a year. If you are on the north or South Pole, you will only be able to see the part of the sky above you.

Star watching has occupied humans from the earliest times .Our ancestors studied the night sky and saw shapes and patterns among the starts. They often made up stories to explain what they saw. The same star constellation Capricorns, for example, the ancient Aztecs saw Capacity, the Whale. In India, Makaram, an antelope, was seen in the same constellation.

Ursa Minor

Lesser Bear Ursa Minor is the home of the North Start. Ursa Minor is said to have been introduced by the Greek philosopher Thales around 600 BC. For as long as ships have sailed the seas Polaris has been an essential guiding star.
