Most people love to gaze at the beautiful, sparkling stars in the sky. Why have people always been so amazed by the planets, constellations and star clusters that exist in the heavens? Perhaps because they seem so far away, almost in another world. It really is quite amazing when you realize that so much beauty exists millions of miles away from the Earth!
Think of all the movies, books and songs that have been created around a star theme. Star Wars is one of the most popular movies of all times. People are just mesmerized by stars and the constellations they make up. Think of all the songs about stars – there must be hundreds of them! The Star Spangled Banner, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Starry Starry Night. People have been amazed by stars for thousands of years.
