Since ancient times, the sky has been home to many small bright stars, which are perhaps the most beautiful creatures in the whole world. Their shining clothes are a real opportunity for pride, because they even attract people - strange creatures living on one of the planets. Why strange? Yes, because the stars could not understand their way of life: they were always in a hurry somewhere, not even knowing the way, exposing themselves to the danger of getting lost, rarely thinking about what the world really is like and what their purpose is.
Worries, worries and worries. This is how their life passed on one of the most picturesque planets in the Universe. It was completely incomprehensible to the small bright stars how they could live like this, because, unlike people, they were never in a hurry, they lived measuredly and constantly thought about the lofty things - the meaning of life, heavenly harmony and the incredible beauty of the Universe. Most of all they were interested and fascinated by the unusual laws that governed their world, which was called Cosmos. Comets, meteorites and entire systems of planets rushed through it at incredible speed, and their routes were so precise and harmonious that they did not collide with each other. This was the essence of celestial harmony - a very well-thought-out system of rules and laws that all celestial bodies strictly adhered to.
In their free time from thinking, the stars rejoiced in their outfits, sang star songs and even did a star dance. True, it was very different from what people understood by dance. The reason for this is simple - the stars were forbidden to move from place to place, so their movements were extremely limited. The little beauties were surprised by this, but they never became indignant or protested, realizing that this was one of the rules of heavenly harmony. In general, the habit of being indignant is also inherent only in people.
One day, during such entertainment, the North Star, the brightest star in the sky, began to talk about people: “Look, they got lost again.” - Who? - asked one of her friends. - Yes, sailors! We swam in the wrong direction. Well, how can you go on the road without understanding the cardinal directions at all? “Indeed,” another heavenly beauty picked up her conversation, “the Chumaks are lost.” They will have to look for salt for a long time, if they find it at all. “And if they find it, they’ll get lost again on the way home,” Polar Star laughed loudly and suddenly fell silent. She felt it was wrong to laugh at people who lived so far below. Good for them, the stars. From above you can really see everything perfectly. But is it really as easy to live without pointers? The North Star was not only the brightest, but also very kind and smart. So she instantly came up with an interesting idea: “What if we become signposts for people?” We will show them the way. We still can’t move away from each other, so it will be easy for people to remember our individual groups and navigate in space. And for a better understanding, we will now quickly draw a map of the starry sky. - Great idea! — one of her closest neighbors supported Polar Star. “And I also suggest that we come up with names for our groups.” For example, Mizar, Mirak and their friends look very much like a bear to me. Why don't they call it that? - Hmm, you look like a little bear to me! - Mizar laughed.
- Ursa Major and Ursa Minor! - Polar Star summed up, - in my opinion, it sounds great. The fairy tale about the North Star and Ursa Minor is a good name for a new and interesting story. - Polar Star, maybe you’ll fantasize about your adventures later, but now let’s finish what we started? - Mizar interrupted her thoughts. - Yes, sure! We need to draw a map to help people.
This is how individual constellations were formed in the starry sky, and for a long time people have become accustomed to finding their way around them. Therefore, if you don’t know something, don’t forget to raise your head to the sky from time to time. Little bright beauties are always ready to help.

Some believed that this shade is obtained when light and darkness are mixed. Others thought that this was the color of the particles that make up the air.

Heaven essay
Sky. I've always been attracted to it. Sometimes I’ll sit near the window with a mug of tea or coffee and admire these blue, airy and endless expanses. The sky has always calmed me down. It seemed to hypnotize me: I could just sit near the window for an hour, staring high up.
The sky is so captivating and always different. I love the sky after the rain. So gloomy, calm, peaceful... The clouds are so dark and heavy, as if a very large amount of water had accumulated in them. And in the evening, when the sun sets and sunset comes! What beauty is coming! The sky turns red, yellow and orange. But at this time it seems restless: as if a thunderstorm or thunder is about to break out. But despite this, airy snow-white clouds fly very smoothly over our houses, like ships sailing. You should see the sky during a thunderstorm or thunderstorm. The clouds immediately gather into one continuous gloomy heap, and darkness sets in... At this time, I really feel very creepy, even a little scared.
And the starry sky. How amazing is this! These constellations... They create such a romantic mood. I love looking at and finding different constellations, and just looking at the stars and admiring the view.
I also really like to lie down on the lawn with my friends and carefully look at the clouds. Sometimes they swim so slowly... Sometimes it seems to me that they look like snow-white lumps of cotton candy. I just want to touch them with my hand! But very often they run at incredible speed, just like airplanes. I'm always wondering what this white cotton wool looks like. Sometimes I see a huge white horse or elephant. This is so mesmerizing...
The sky has no boundaries. Such snow-white and light clouds. This is exactly what attracts me and what I can look at for ages.

Starry sky
The Birth of Stars
The science that studies stars is called astronomy. Translated from Greek, “aster” means star. Astronomers observe the stars using a special and very powerful instrument - a telescope.
A star is a celestial body that consists of hot gas. Stars are born in outer space from a clump of interstellar gas. The clot begins to rotate at a very high speed, and gradually increases in size several times. Inside it, the temperature reaches colossal values - several million degrees, and it begins to glow - this is how a new star is born.
The closest star to our planet is the Sun, which is many times larger than the Earth. Due to its bright light during the day, we cannot see other stars because they are further away and their glow is not as bright. In fact, there are stars in our galaxy that shine many times brighter than the Sun, but they are very far from the globe.
Rice. 1. The sun is a very bright star
At first glance, all the stars seem to be the same color - white, but this is not so. Blue stars are the hottest and brightest, followed by white stars, and then yellow and orange. The cooler the star's surface, the redder it is.
Constellations
In the vast expanses of the galaxy, some stars form groups - constellations. Such stars are formed from a common dust-gas cloud and are located next to each other due to the force of mutual attraction.
Almost all star clusters are located along the Milky Way. Scientists count more than a thousand such clusters of stars, but they all decay sooner or later.
Rice. 2. Milky Way
On the vault of heaven, the location of the stars relative to each other does not change. Even in ancient times, people noticed the brightest constellations and christened them in honor of mythical animals, characters from fairy tales and legends.
In 1930, the International Astronomical Union officially registered 88 constellations. Based on their location, they are conventionally divided into 3 groups:
- constellations of the northern hemisphere - 31 in total;
- constellations of the southern hemisphere - 48 in total;
- constellations located in both hemispheres - 9 in total.
Constellations of the southern and northern hemispheres
In the sky you can find constellations that are distinguished by their particular beauty and brightness of stars. These include:
- Constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor . They are famous for the fact that at the end of the Ursa Minor dipper the North Star shines, thanks to which brave travelers found the right path. Both Ursae are clearly visible throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.
Rice. 3. Ursa Major
- The constellation Cassiopeia also sparkles in the sky at any time of the year. Its main stars are located in the form of the letters “M”, and the constellation received its name thanks to the heroine of ancient Greek myths - Queen Cassiopeia.
- the constellation Orion in winter - it is amazingly beautiful. There are 3 bright and beautiful stars in Orion's belt.
- The constellation Cygnus is clearly visible in autumn and summer. Outwardly, it resembles the outline of a swan with outstretched wings. In the tail of the Cygnus there is a star - one of the brightest and most beautiful in the sky.
Constellation Taurus
Another large and unimaginably beautiful constellation of the northern hemisphere is Taurus. It is located northwest of Orion and is located between the constellations Aries and Gemini. Not far from Taurus there are such constellations as: Auriga, Cetus, Perseus, Eridanus.
This constellation in mid-latitudes can be observed throughout almost the entire year, with the exception of the second half of spring and early summer.
The history of the constellation dates back to ancient myths. They talk about Zeus turning into a calf in order to kidnap the goddess Europa and bring her to the island of Crete. This constellation was first described by Eudoxus, a mathematician who lived long before our era.
The brightest star not only of this constellation, but also of the other 12 groups of stars is Aldebaran. It is located on the head of Taurus and was previously called the “eye”. Aldebaran is 38 times the diameter of the Sun and 150 times brighter. This star is located 62 light years away from us.
The second brightest star in the constellation is Nat or El-Nat (the horns of the bull). It is located near Auriga. It is 700 times brighter than the Sun and 4.5 times larger.
Within the constellation there are two incredibly beautiful open clusters of stars, the Hyades and the Pleiades.
The age of the Hyades is 650 million years. They can be easily found in the starry sky thanks to Aldebaran, which is clearly visible among them. They include about 200 stars.
The Pleiades got its name from its nine parts. Seven of them are named after the seven sisters of Ancient Greece (the Pleiades), and two more are named after their parents. The Pleiades are very visible in winter. They include about 1000 stellar bodies.
An equally interesting formation in the constellation Taurus is the Crab Nebula. It was formed after a supernova explosion in 1054 and was discovered in 1731. The distance of the nebula from the Earth is 6500 light years, and its diameter is about 11 light years. years.
This constellation belongs to the Orion family and borders the constellations Orion, Unicorn, Canis Minor, and Hare.
The constellation Canis Major was first discovered by Ptolemy in the second century.
There is a myth according to which the Great Dog used to be Lelap. It was a very fast dog that could catch up with any prey. One day he chased a fox, which was not inferior to him in speed. The outcome of the race was a foregone conclusion, and Zeus turned both animals to stone. He placed the dog in heaven.
The constellation Canis Major is very visible in winter. The brightest star not only of this, but also of all other constellations is Sirius. It has a bluish luster and is located quite close to Earth, at a distance of 8.6 light years. In terms of brightness in our solar system, it is surpassed by Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon. Light from Sirius takes 9 years to reach Earth and is 24 times stronger than the sun. This star has a satellite called "Puppy".
The formation of such a concept as “Holidays” is associated with Sirius. The fact is that this star appeared in the sky during the summer heat. Since Sirius is translated from Greek as “canis,” the Greeks began to call this period vacation.
