Learn about astronomy — the study of stars, planets, and other objects in space. A galaxy is a large group of stars, dust, and other elements that make up a star system. Stars and other objects in space can form patterns in the sky called constellations. Early observers noticed these patterns (like Orion the hunter and Leo the lion) and told stories about them. These are not science and are called astrology — it’s fun to think about but not scientific.
