The stars are light years away which is the distance light travels in a year. A light year is about 3x108km. The farther something is from you the slower they seem to travel so the stars don't look like the are moving. In reality, they are moving very fast.

Could stars be dead?

The stars we see are so far away, that their light can take hundreds or thousands of years to reach us. So long after the light we saw left the star, but before the light arrived here, the star may have blown up. We would not know for a long time after that. So many of the stars that we do see may be long dead.


How do you photograph stars?

You need a camera that you can take long exposures with.... Also you would need a remote control cord connected to it so that you can hold the shutter open for as long as it takes to bring in enough light to get the stars to show up in the picture....This would also keep you from shaking the camera and streaking the stars....


Are stars the same as your sun?

Are other stars the same as our sun? Stars are distant Suns, but so far away they look like points of light. They are giant balls of hot gas, just like our Sun. They are also like people. They are born, live through a long middle age, and finally die. Some stars are alone, like our Sun, and others have a constant companion, usually another star. Stars also change as they age. These changes take place over millions and billions of years so we don't notice them.

Can constellations change?

Constellation will never change except when one of the stars explode in that constellation This is correct, but can be more in depth. Constellations themselves don't really change, it's more of what we can see. Many of the stars we see are actually burned out, and we are seeing th elight traveling towards us. When the light reaches us, we cease to see that star, and thus that constellation would change. However, this takes a long amount of time, so constellations change little over long amounts of time.
