   Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.
   Sirius can even be observed in daylight with
    the naked eye under the right conditions.
    Ideally, the sky should be very clear, with the
    observer at a high altitude, the star passing
    overhead, and the Sun low down on the
    horizon
   The Sun is the star at the centre of the solar
    system
    It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of
    hot plasma  with magnetic fields
    It has a diameter of about 1,392,000 km, and
     its weight is 330,000 kg It is 109 times that
    of Earths weight
   A pole star is a visible star, especially a
    prominent one, that is approximately aligned
    with the Earth's axis of rotation; that is, a star
    whose apparent position is close to one of
    the celestial poles, and which lies
    approximately directly overhead when viewed
    from the Earth's North Pole or South Pole
    Pole Star is also known as the North Star.
   The stars forming a group that recognisable
    shape is called a constellation
   Some of the examples are great
    bear,orion,cassiopeia,leo major etc
   VY Canis Majoris  is the largest known star
     and also one of the most luminous. It is a
    red hypergiant in the constellation Canis
    Major.
   Placed at the center of our solar system
Stars are huge balls of glowing gas.
Deep inside a star, a gas called
hydrogen is changed into
a gas called helium.
   In some cultures, the stars represent part of the
    cosmos, such as the heavens or the home of the
    gods, or a path between the earth and another
    world
   The Paiute of North America describe the stars as
    the children of the sun and moon. Because the sun
    loves to eat his children, the stars disappear
    whenever he rises above the horizon. However,
    the moon, their mother, often dances happily
    across the sky with the stars.

    To the Yakut of Siberia, the stars are crystal
    windows that allow the gods to look down at earth
stars
