A story about stars!

2.  Have you ever
looked up at the
night sky? Do you
know what you
see? You see a lot
of stars and the
moon! Have you
ever wondered
what stars are?
Stars are so
beautiful.

3.  Stars are so
beautiful. Our
sun is a star. It is
our closest star.
All the other stars
are far away.
You can still see
them though.
They look like
small bright dots
in the sky.

4.  Like us, stars only
have a certain
amount of time to
live. The life of a star
can last a very long
time! All stars start
their life as
protostars! This is a
name for baby stars!
Stars are so
beautiful.

5.  A “child” star is
called a main
sequence star.
This is when
stars shine the
brightest. The
star is starting to
grow up, just like
you and me
grow up! Stars
are so beautiful.

6.  An adult star is
called a red giant
or supergiant.
Once a star
becomes an adult
star, it gets really
big! It also starts
getting dimmer.
Stars are so
beautiful.

7.  All stars are bight, but
the color of different
stars depend on how hot
or cold they are! A hot
star is blue, and cooler
stars are red. Stars are
so beautiful.

8.  Sometimes, when
people look up at
the stars, they see
the stars make
patterns. These
patterns are called
constellations.
There are
constellations in the
shape of bears,
ancient heroes (like
Hercules), and even
fish. Stars are so
beautiful.

9.  Constellations and the
North Star were used
by travelers at night
as they traveled to
various places.
Harriett Tubman used
the stars to lead slaves
to freedom before the
civil war.

10.  When a star gets old,
the star will die. It
will stop glowing
and will become a
black hole. Stars are
so beautiful.

11.  Stars are so beautiful.
They grow up just like
us and they have been
used by travelers and
everyone who just
enjoys looking up at the
nighttime sky.
