Why color images of stars?
The stars we see in the sky at night are not really like they appear in drawings. They are more like the planets, because they usually have a spherical shape, like the Sun. Did you know that?
The birth of stars is chaotic, but without a doubt, they become something amazing, during their life and when it ends. Did you know that when a star runs out of fuel it becomes a Red Giant? That's something new even for us!
For years stars have been grouped into constellations, and served as a guide for travelers. Today, thanks to astronomy, we know a great many things about them. Would you like to learn more about the stars?
Then you've come to the right place! If you dare to paint stars we're sure you'll leave with new knowledge, because on top of the star images to color we added fun facts, do you like the idea? It's just a matter of painting and having fun!
Learn while coloring Stars
- Stars are not just yellow, in fact the color depends on their temperature. For example, the hottest ones shine with a greenish-white or blue color. The warm ones shine yellow. And the coldest ones, red.
- Our Sun is a medium-sized star. And although it is classified as a lower-temperature star, the truth is that its surface has a temperature of 5000-6000 degrees Kelvin. That's a lot!
- Want to know what it takes for a star to be born? It requires time, gravity, and hydrogen.
- The brightest star is called "Sirius", and it is located in the Canis Major constellation, better known as the dog constellation.
- If you observe the starry sky you'll believe that the stars are close together. But that's not the case! In reality, between one star and another there are enormous distances, of several light-years, even though from Earth they seem to be stuck together.
- Does the North Star ring a bell? It's a star that for many years has been used by explorers and sailors to orient themselves at night to locate geographic north.
- The oldest known star in the universe is known as "Methuselah", and it has been estimated to be between 14.46 billion years old. It's very old!
- Generally, the bigger a star is, the shorter its lifespan. How crazy!
- Stars form inside nebulae. Over time, gravity causes the dense matter to collapse under its own weight, it contracts and forms a protostar. Millions of years later nuclear fusion begins as the temperature increases and thus the star arises.
- Have you noticed that some stars shine more than others? This is due to how much energy they radiate and how far they are from Earth.
- Supernovas arise from stars, when they go out with an explosion. Their cores contract, collapse, and produce a stellar explosion. Amazing!
- Have you ever heard about the solar wind? It's a stream of charged particles that the atmosphere of stars expels, and its composition is the same as that of the star that emits it.
- A Red Giant is a star that has already used up its fuel. The star is compressed by the gravity of its core, and becomes a white dwarf, until it cools down and becomes invisible.
- In reality, shooting stars are not stars, but small particles that enter Earth's atmosphere at great speed, and burn up due to friction.
- The chemical elements of the Periodic Table that go from hydrogen to iron are formed inside the stars. The heavier elements, like lead, are produced in supernovas. Incredible!
