The first picture book in history was the sky. Constellations like Aquarius, Aries, Centaurus, Orion, and Pegasus, are groups of stars that form patterns in the sky and are the objects of dreams and myths.

CURIOSITIES • The largest constellation by area is Hydra, which is 3.16% of the sky. • The smallest is Crux, which only takes up 0.17% of the sky. • Most stars are between 1 billion and 10 billion years old. • Stars don’t “twinkle” as it would seem. It happens because their light travels through the Earth’s atmosphere, and the turbulence affects the way we see it.

Because it can be seen all year round, people use this constellation for navigation, especially to find the direction south.

WHAT ARE STARS? Stars are extremely hot balls of gas. The universe is made of collections of gas, dust, and stars called galaxies. Our galaxy is the Milky Way and there are billions of stars in it. The enormous reactions taking place in stars are continually releasing energy – or electromagnetic radiation. This explains why we can see and find them through telescopes.
