SOLAR
SYSTEM
Stars, Calendars, Galaxies and Constellations
A star is an object in space that gives out its
own light and consists of gases held together
by its own gravity.
Star is formed from clouds of gases and dust,
which contract and collapse towards the
center of the star.
The gases are mostly Hydrogen
and Helium.
What is star?
 Scientists classify stars by temperature and the elements they
absorb, which are called their spectra. They have divided stars
into seven main types.
 There are seven main types of stars: O, B, A, F, G, K and M. The O
stars are the bright, hot, blue stars and the M stars are the
dimmer, cooler, red stars
 O stars are blue
 B stars are blue-white
 A stars are white
 F stars are yellow-white
 G stars are yellow
 K stars are orange
 M stars are red
Classifying stars
 There are some famous stars apart from our Sun.
Can you find their information to enrich your
knowledge…
Betelgeuse, Sirius, Vega, Polaris, Antares,
Rigel, Pleiades, Alpha Carinae…
Can you find out these stars
information?

Star’s life cycle
Our Sun’ s hydrogen fuel will run out one day.
It will form a small, cool glowing star called white
dwarf.
Later on, this will slowly fade away and stop
glowing, forming a black dwarf or dead star.
Since our Sun is in group G or yellow dwarf star
so it will not become black hole.
Sun is 4,5 billion years old and it will become
black dwarf in another 5 billion years.
Star’s life cycle
Sun’s diagram
There are three main structures that made up
our Sun.
1. Atmosphere; It is made up of Corona and
Chromosphere. These areas are having few
million degree Celcius.
2. Photosphere; It has two parts called sunspots
and solar flares. These areas are having
5500°C, colder than core and atmosphere.
Sun’s diagram
3. Core; the hottest part with 15.000.000°C and also
where the radiation and magnetic force are the
strongest. Here the nuclear fusion happened and
releasing huge energy that can be received by the
Earth and other planets.
Sun’s diagram
 Others stars also have all of our Sun’s characteristics,
yet they cannot be seen during the day time, since, the
light from our sun faded the others stars’ light.
The distance of these stars are in __light year. 1 light
year is the distance that light can travel in one year. It
has a value of 9.46 x 10 metres.
Stars that are nearer to the Earth appear bigger while
stars that are further away, appear smaller.

Actually these are
stars. They are
shinning all the
time. However, we
cannot see them
because of the light
from the Sun.
The Sun and the Moon play important part in our lives. They
are used to calculate the duration of one year.
Christian or Gregorian calendar or known as Tahun Masehi
or Syamsiah.
Use, mostly by people around the world.
The year is divided by 12 months.
Using the Earth that revolves the Sun.
It is revolving the Sun in 365 days or 366 days.
Calendars
Christian or Gregorian calendar.
The year that has 366 days is
called LEAP year, it is
happened when 1 day is added
in February every 4 years.
The Christian calendar is a
solar calendar based on the
revolution of the Earth around
the Sun.

The Sun and the Moon play important part in our lives. They
are used to calculate the duration of one year.
Muslim Calendar or known as Tahun Hijriah or Komariah.
Use, mostly by many Muslim countries, such as
Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, etc.
The year is divided by 12 months.
Using the Moon that revolves the Earth.
It is revolving the Earth in 354 days.
Calendars
Muslim calendar.
The Muslim calendar is
a lunar calendar based
on the revolution of the
Moon around the Earth.
Calendars
Chinese and Hindu calendars.
Chinese calendar starts with the new
moon every month.
A common year has 12 months and
a leap year has 13 months; and an ordinary
year has 353–355 days while a leap year has
383–385 days.
Hindu calendar starts with the full moon
every month.
Calendars
Galaxy is a very large collections of stars that are held
together by gravity.
Galaxies are known also as the concentrations of stars,
gas, dust, and dark matter. They come in a variety of
shapes and sizes.
Galaxy
In 1936, Hubble debuted a way to classify galaxies,
grouping them into four main types: spiral galaxies,
lenticular galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular
galaxies.
These galaxies span a wide range of sizes, from dwarf
galaxies containing as few as 100 million stars to giant
galaxies with more than a trillion stars.
Galaxy
A spiral galaxy has a flat, spinning disk with a central bulge
surrounded by spiral arms. Our Milky Way, like other spiral
galaxies, has a linear, starry bar at its center.
Examples: Milky Way, Andromeda, Pinwheel, Whirlpool,
etc.
Galaxy
Elliptical galaxies are shaped as their name suggests: They
are generally round but can stretch longer along one axis
than along the other, so much so that some take on a cigar-
like appearance.
Examples: Holmberg 15A, Maffei 1, Centaurus A, etc.
Galaxy
Lenticular galaxies, such as the iconic Sombrero Galaxy,
sit between elliptical and spiral galaxies. They're called
“lenticular” because they resemble lenses.
Examples: Copeland’s Septet, Sombrero, Cartwheel,
Condor, etc.
Galaxy
Galaxies that are not spiral, lenticular, or elliptical are
called irregular galaxies.
Examples: Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small
Magellanic Cloud, etc.

Constellations are group of stars that appear to be
close together, fixed in their positions and form certain
patterns.
As the Earth rotates, the constellations seem to be
moved also.
Many constellations are named after mythological
characters, people, animals and objects in various parts
of the world.
Constellation - Stars
 Stars and constellations have served many purposes,
they are used for:
1. Locate objects in the sky;
2. Locate directions; and
3. Entertain people.
Constellation - Stars
 Locate objects in the sky.
Astronomers divided the sky into 88 imaginary pieces
or areas that explain each constellation.
So, if they wish to find a star or any celestial body, they
can just put the object in for examples in Ursa Major
piece or area.

Map of the
constellations
 Locate directions on the Earth.
Long time ago, when there is no GPS, sailors and travelers used the
stars for giving them direction.
 The reason the North Star is so important for natural navigation
is that it sits directly over the North Pole. Something that people
often forget is that whenever you are trying to find true north, you
are actually trying to find the direction of the North Pole from
wherever you.
 The constellation, Cassiopeia, is also very helpful in finding the
North Star as it will always be on the opposite side of the North
Star.

 Entertain people.
Many cultures around the world have their own stories
about stars constellations. They created stories to told
about the stars constellation. Such as Orion the hunter
with its two dogs, Taurus the bull, and many more.
Let’s read the story of Aquarius, the water bearer of gods.
Constellation - Stars
Aquarius – The Water Bearer The name
most often associated with the
constellation Aquarius is that of
Ganymede, son of Tros, King of Troy.
Ganymede was an extremely handsome
young man, the most handsome the
gods and goddesses had ever seen.
While attending to his father’s flocks on
Mount Ida, Ganymede caught the
attention of Zeus. Zeus sent his
messenger eagle, Aquila, down to earth
with instructions to bring Ganymede
back up to Mount Olympus. On Mount
Olympus, Ganymede served the gods by
bringing them water whenever they
needed it. He also served as cup bearer
to Zeus. He was honored for his service
by Zeus, who placed a constellation
called Aquarius, which means water
carrier, among the stars.
