What is a star??



Star


Star is the thing in the sky which produce the light.. There are 2 species of star :
- apparent star : a star which can't make light by himself
- real star : a star which can make light by himself

and
for me :
" star was a beautiful gift from God for us to make our world shining and sparkle"
What about Star constellation(rasi Bintang)?

Star constellation(Rasi bintang) was a group of star which look like a linked line and form a special configuration.

there are 88 modern star constellation..
the easiest star constellation that we can find are "orion" and "scorpius"

Dark Cloud Constellations

The "Emu in the sky", a 'constellation' defined by dark clouds rather than the stars. A western interpretation would recognise the Crux or Southern Cross, on the left Scorpius. The head of the emu is the Coalsack.

Members of the Inca civilization identified various dark areas in the Milky Way as animals, and associated their appearance with the seasonal rains. These areas are commonly referred to by modern researchers as dark cloud constellations[2] or dark nebulae. Australian Aboriginal astronomy also used dark nebulae in some constellations, the most famous being the "emu in the sky" whose head is formed by the coalsack.
