About Stars

When you look at the sky during night you might see many stars. If you are camping in the mountains or the desert away from the cities bright lights you may see thousands of stars. You might even be able to  see a milky way. In a city you can't see as many stars because the city lights are to bright. Their brightness distracts from  the stars. There are different kinds of stars, there are big stars, little stars and also a couple of stars have been found over 100 to 200 times larger then the sun. Some very old stars are smaller then Earth. Scientists study stars and place them in groups based on how they are  alike and how they are different. At the end of stars lives they explode into what is called a Supernova here are some pictures.
