A galaxy is a huge group of stars, planets, gas, dust, comets, asteroids, and other objects in space. Our Sun and Earth are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is so huge that we cannot travel outside it to see what it looks like. Studying other galaxies and how stars are arranged in the Milky Way gives astronomers an idea of what it looks like. Telescopes are instruments used to study galaxies and other objects in space. Scientists think the Milky Way Galaxy is shaped like a pinwheel with a bulge of stars in the center and arms made of stars that reach out in a spiral. The Milky Way is called a spiral galaxy, and we can see many spiral galaxies in the universe. Another type of galaxy is the elliptical galaxy that is made of tightly paced stars and has no arms. There are also irregular galaxies that can be any shape. There are trillions of beautiful galaxies in space. Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations.

A star is an object in space made of hydrogen and helium atoms. It makes its own light energy and heat energy when hydrogen atoms combine to make helium. (Atoms are described.) Stars are born inside a huge cloud of gas and dust and die when they run out of the hydrogen they use for fuel. A big star that runs out of fuel ends its life in a huge, very bright explosion called a supernova and leaves behind a cloud of gas and dust called a nebula. A supernova can also leave behind a white dwarf star or a black hole. A supernova explosion blasts the dying star's matter into space, scattering many different kinds of atoms into the universe. All the atoms that make up everything on Earth were once part of stars. You are made from stars too! Pronunciation guide included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations.
