There are two types of stories we tell of the stars, old and new. The old stories cover the mythology of the sky as told by the Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, and other early cultures. They grouped the stars into a variety of patterns called constellations, naming them after heroes, monsters and other characters from their myths and legends. In this show we emphasize the constellations and old stories of the stars with less scientific concepts making it more suitable for grades 1 through 3. Today's astronomers tell the new stories of the stars as they discover the true nature of these most distant objects. We cover very basic concepts of the evolution of Sun-like stars including star forming regions, their stellar life cycle (including planetary nebula and white dwarf stars) and basics of the Milky Way and galaxies.
