Did you know that stars come in different colors and sizes? Some stars are red, some are blue, and they can be much bigger or smaller than our Sun. Stars are like glittering gems in the night sky!
Constellations are groups of stars that form shapes in the sky. Ancient cultures imagined these shapes as characters & animals. For example, Orion the Hunter or Ursa Major, the Great Bear.
When you see a streak of light across the sky, it's not a star but a meteoroid burning up in Earth's atmosphere. People often call them "shooting stars," and often make a wish when they see one.
The North Star (Polaris) is special because it stays nearly in the same place in the night sky, always pointing north. Sailors and explorers have used it for since ancient times to find their way!
Stars are not only visible at night! The Sun is a star too. It's so bright that it outshines other stars during the day, making them invisible. But some stars, like Sirius, are so bright they can be seen faintly in the daytime!
Our Sun is just one star in our Milky Way galaxy. Galaxies are like huge families of stars, and there are billions of them in the universe! Each star in the night sky might have planets, just like Earth orbits the Sun.
