Stars in the Sky
Space
Stars in the sky seem to form patterns. Lines connecting them on a chart are imaginary.
Did you know?
Two stars that look close in the sky can be very far apart.
Look together
Which groups of stars would you like to connect in a drawing?
An idea to try
Invent a shape by connecting dots on paper.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The drawing shows scattered stars with no lines between them, so the child can invent figures by connecting them. These stars do not reproduce an official constellation. Stars in an apparent pattern may lie at very different distances; visible positions change with location and time.
