-A constellation is a group of stars that appear to be next to each other in space. -When the stars are connected, they resemble figures or things. -For centuries, people thought the position of the moon or planets in these constellations at the time of your birth determined your fate (Astrology) Examples of constellations include the following…

Stars that are seen all year long

Constellations 101
33
Will Polaris always be the North Star? Does it look like a dipper from anywhere in space?

LLight Year – the distance light travels in 1 year IIt is equal to about 6 trillion miles! TThe next closest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light years away. SSirius is 8.6 light years away. PParsec—say what?! (3.26 light years) BBut how do we measure the distance to a star? PParallax

-Cloud of gas and dust -Mostly hydrogen -Shockwaves from the outside force the cloud to condense to start a star forming
48
-early stars that have just begun to condense (compact together)
49
Normal -average, middle- aged star like the Sun Massive -middle-aged star, but very heavy
50
-bright stars that are 10 to 100 times larger than the Sun -form when much of the smaller atoms have been fused -bright star this usually well over 100 times greater than the Sun -go through fusion fast! (millions of years)
51
-forms when the outer gases of a giant dissipate in a halo shape -likely to condense somewhere as a new planet -the sudden collapse of a supergiant that lasts just a few moments -million times brighter than normal
52
-the left over glowing core of a giant star -the fate of our Sun
53
-the VERY VERY dense leftover core of a supergiant that exploded (supernova)
