    CONSTELLATIONS

    A Lecture Presentation
    BSE SCIENCE 3-1
    MOTIVATION
    Explain the images that can be seen in figure 1
    and figure 2 below, and answer the following
    question:
    • Are the stars the same in size? Which is bigger,
    the
    A Sirius
    Lecture orPresentation
    Rigel?
    • Are the stars
    BSE SCIENCE 3-1 equally bright?
    • What does the color of the star mean?
    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    At the end of the lesson, learners are expected to:

    a. Infer some characteristics of stars based on the


    characteristic of the sun;
    b. Infer that the arrangement of stars in a group
    (constellation) does not change for a very long period of time;
    A Lecture Presentation
    c. Use charts that
    BSE SCIENCE 3-1
    show which constellation may be observed
    at different times of the year.
    FIGURE 1. THE NIGHT SKY FIGURE 2. THE SIZE AND COLOR OF THE SUN
    COMPARED TO THE OTHER STARS
    CHARACTERISTICS OF STARS:
    COLOR

    Star color ranges from red to blue. The color of the


    star indicates it’s surface temperature. The table below
    shows the surface temperature and color of different nearby
    stars including the sun.
    Star Color Surface temperature in Celsius

    Sun Yellow 5,700

    Proxima Centuari Red 2,300

    Epsilon iridani Orange 4,600

    Vega White 9,900

    Sirius White 10,000

    Alnilam Blue 27,000


    BRIGHTNESS
    The brightness of the star as seen from the earth varies from two factors:
    Apparent Brightness - The stars brightness as seen from earth.
    Absolute Brightness – is the brightness the star would have if all stars
    were the same standard distance from earth
    SURFACE TEMPERATURE
    - The coolest, reddest stars are approximately 2,5000 K, while white the
    hottest stars can reach 50,000 K. Our Sun is about 5,500 K.
    SURFACE TEMPERATURE
    - For instances, Rigel, which is much larger than ur sun, has a mass of 3.5
    solar masses. Two stars of a similar size ay not necessarily have the same mass,
    as stars can vary greatly in density.
    CONSTELLATIONS
    A constellation is a group of
    stars in the sky that forms a
    pattern and has a name. For
    example, the stars on the right
    are nicknamed the Big Dipper
    because they look like a ladle!
    EXAMPLES:
    Orion – The greeks called the large constellation Orion
    which means hunter and is prominent in the night sky all
    over the world during winter.
    Balatik – Early Filipinos visualized the same group of stars
    as Balatik, a trap used in hunting wild pigs.
    Tatlong Maria or Tres Marias – Christian Filipinos named the
    three stars also known as Orion’s Belt.
    DIFFERENT PATTERNS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
    ➢ During summer in the Philippines, the constellations of Orion and Taurus are not visible at night. They
    will be visible again as the cold season begins. During this time, Scorpius will not be seen in the night sky.

    USED THE
    CONSTELLATIONS
    • Associated with religion
    • Associated with agriculture
    APPLICATION
