Key Insights

Historically, stars have been important to civilizations throughout the world. They have been part of religious practices, divination rituals, mythology, used for celestial navigation and orientation, to mark the passage of seasons, and to define calendars. Stars are giant balls of hot gas – mostly hydrogen, with some helium and small amounts of other elements. Every star has its own life cycle, ranging from a few million to trillions of years, and its properties change as it ages. Stars form in large clouds of gas and dust called molecular clouds.

Final Thoughts

A star is any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. Of the tens of billions of trillions of stars in the observable universe, only a very small percentage are visible to the naked eye. Why do stars twinkle? Stars are spherical balls of hot, ionized gas (plasma) held together by their own gravity. Stars are the most fundamental building blocks of our universe.
