The Life Cycle of Stars Task #1: Lights in the Sky Go to the website http://www.seasky.org/cosmic/sky7a01.html and answer the following questions: What are constellations? What is a star's brightness known as? How do astronomers rate the magnitude of a star? Are the brightest stars low magnitude or high magnitude? Stars are identified by their color; what does the color indicate? What color is the hottest star? What color is the coolest star? Use colored pencils to color the Spectral class types. Color the hottest stars on the left to the coolest stars on the right. Then, label the spectral classes appropriately under each star (G, B, F, A, O, K, M)
