We see many stars in the night sky. Most of them
look like tiny dots of light because they are so
far away. Stars are very big.They are made of
burning gases. A long time ago, people imagined
that some groups of stars looked like objects,
people, and animals. These groups of stars are
called constellations. People gave names to these
groups and told stories about them. The stories
were called legends. Click
