Second draft of: HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THE GREAT MYSTERIES OF STARS?


HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THE GREAT MYSTERIES OF STARS?

[Introduction]
Stars in space are really fun to learn about them. In this information report. I would be writing about stars appearance and types of stars and also the life cycle of the stars. Also Stars are really interesting to learn about.

[Types of Stars]
Stars can be big or small also hot stars are brighter than the others. The sun is a gas dwarf star because it is boiling hot. As stars begin to die they become giants and super giants and that's why we can’t really see them. Little stars are much easier to see because the shine from the reflecting light.

[Life cycle of Stars]
A newborn Star is called a Nebulae because it is a clump of gas and dust. After a Nebulae the star is either a Neutron star or a giant star. Stars are super giant and that means that the super giant stars are slightly darker. The last step of a star is that it turns into a black hole.

[Appearance]
Some stars appearance is really different to others. Did you also know that Sirius the brightest star is the first star you would see. Why do you think stars twinkle? Because when we look at the sky, we can see thousands of stars and you get confused because the all are shining.

[Conclusion]

This great journey comes to an end. Stars are the best and great research about. If you want more  facts and information your most welcome to visit this website:  http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/stars.html
