I love looking at stars. They consist of plasma held together by its own gravity.
The idea of space is insane. We'll never now what's out there
True. The only star I don't like to watch is the nearest one to Earth, the Sun.
Yeah. The sun has been acting crazy lately. It was almost 100 degrees earlier this week!
That is hot! Most stars are actually invisible even through the most powerful telescopes.
Why is that? Not bright enough?
Star
A star is an astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, the brightest of which gained proper names. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that identify the known stars and provide standardized stellar
, 2011, the Kepler Space Telescope team reported the discovery of the first Earth-sized extrasolar planets, Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, orbiting a Sun-like star, Kepler-20. A 2012 study, analyzing gravitational microlensing data, estimates an average of at least 1.6 bound planets for every star in the Milky Way.
Around one in five Sun-like stars is thought to have an Earth-sized planet in its habitable zone.
History.
The idea of planets has evolved over its history, from the divine lights
