Yeah! It's Keanu here and I'm gonna talk a little bit of Stars! So what is a STAR?
- Stars are giant, luminous spheres of plasma. There are billions of them — including our own sun — in the Milky Way Galaxy.
- You can tell the different characteristics of a star by observing certain characteristics such as magnitude, color and size.
- A star can form either a red giant or a red supergiant depending on its size. These are formed when stars are about to collapse.

| A red giant! |
- GROUPS OF STARS? Well that's a Constellation! So they are an apparent groupings of stars that make optical projections in space. The patterns are only representations of the figures set by astronomers.

| One example of constellation, The LEO, it's my zodiac sign by the way bwahahahah! |

My reflections :
What I find it easy to understand is the appearance of the Stars, What finds it interesting is that the brightness of the stars is the factor of how much energy they put out, which is called their luminosity and also how far away from Earth they are.
I have learned that Stars evolve a billions of years and when their main sequence phase ends they pass through other states of existence according to their size and other characteristics. The larger a star's mass, the shorter its lifespan will be.
To be expound more. Hmmm... It's the star's color, because I didn't really read about it much, only the appearances, but I have another chance to post again, I will really talk about it!
SEE YOU AGAIN FOR ANOTHER POSTS! BYEEEEEE~ :*
