Constellations and Asterisms
A meaningful pattern of stars visible with the unaided eye, or a region of space seen from Earth that is bounded by borders designated by the International Astronomical Union. Americans know northern hemisphere constellations by the names given them by ancient Babylonians and Greeks. From StarDate.

Imagine the Universe Science
Explore a universe of black holes, dark matter, and quasars... A universe full of extremely high energies, high densities, high pressures, and extremely intense magnetic fields which allow us to test our understanding of the laws of physics.

The Life Cycles of Stars
New stars come in a variety of sizes and colors. They range from blue to red, from less than half the size of our Sun to over 20 times the Sun's size. It all depends on how much gas and dust is collected during the star's formation.

The Life and Death of Stars
Astronomers believe that molecular clouds, dense clouds of gas located primarily in the spiral arms of galaxies are the birthplace of stars.

Stars: World Book at NASA
A star is a huge, shining ball in space that produces a tremendous amount of light and other forms of energy. The sun is a star, and it supplies Earth with light and heat energy. The stars look like twinkling points of light -- except for the sun. The sun looks like a ball because it is much closer to Earth than any other star.

Stars: Birth, Life & Death
Stars are alive. They are born, they live, they die. Some are big, others are small, and their size effects how long they live. Some may finally die after more than 10 billion years; others survive for a mere 100 million years.

Surf the Northern Sky
Constellations of the northern skies. You can zoom in for a more detailed maps of the stars in each region.
