Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?......

What is Constellation

When you go outside on a dark clear night, looke up into the night sky and see hundreds if not thousands of stars randomly spread across the sky. How do you tell one from another? The answers is you learn the Comstellation. At night, you can see many glittering objects in the sky. These objects are called star. A group of stars that form pattern is called a Constellation. We can see millioons of dots of light ib thr night sky. Most of these are stars. Observe the patterns formed by these are stars. Do you know how important they are?

BLUE GIANT



Blue stars are large and compact, this causes them to burn their fuel quickly which in turn makes their temperature very hot.  These stars often run out of fuel in only 10,000 - 100,000 years. 
A blue giant is extremely bright.  Like a lighthouse, they shine across a great distance.  Even though blue giant stars are rare, they make up many of the stars we see at night because they shine so brightly.
Blue giant stars die in a spectacular way.  They grow larger just like the sun-sized stars, but then instead of shrinking and forming a planetary nebula, they explode in what is called a supernova. Supernova explosions can be brighter than an entire galaxy, and can be seen from very far away.
