Stars…Stars…Everywhere…

Every night all of us look up in the sky and see stars. Well some of us don't even have enough time to look up and around and admire nature and some of us are day dreamers we look up in the sky and start imagining things. Well, stars are so unique in themselves that there are several stories (legends) about them.

O.k. I know I know…. this is a studious blog and we are not going to go deep inside the legends instead into realms of Science!!! Let us know a little bit more about stars. A star is a luminous object (in fact the glow of these stars reflects on the moon which makes it appear as if it has its own light) and it rotates and revolves around the pole star. Have you ever wondered why the planets and stars don't fall off out of the sky? Well the answer is simple it is because of gravity. In fact I think that almost all of us know that how in the olden days people used to connect stars and make shapes out of them, these shapes used to guide them the right way and they would never get lost. Lucky us now we have GPS and smart phones!! These shapes are now termed as constellations. Some famous constellations are the Saptarishi or big dipper, the Cassiopeia, Leo Major and Orion. I hope all of you know these constellations if not then what are you waiting for go and find out more about it, we are living in an advanced technological generation, right???

Let us go back to stars I'm sure most of us know the popular stars like "North star (pole star), Sirius, etc, (end of my thinking capacity)!!!! Oh, I almost forgot our sun too is a star and there are many more stars that are hotter, bigger and brighter than our Sun. I wonder that if none of the astronauts could come near the sun then who will be the first astronaut to come near (no don't come near take a selfie beside it!) a bigger one. It's definitely not going to be me!!! Stars can be fun too, Many astrological predictors run their business on the basis of stars and planets and several people have made beautiful crafts On stars too like the beautiful painting " The starry night" done by Mr. Vincent van Gogh. I would like to end this essay by Questioning me that how would our life be without stars? It's quite impossible to imagine the sky so dull in that way. I hope I inspired you enough to go out there with your imaginations and creativity in full swing and learn more about these beautiful twinkle twinkle little…J!!!
