So… how big is the Universe?
It’s big… really big… no, bigger than that… it’s big.
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina gives us some perspective on this whole Universe thing and how we fit into it.
What is a constellation?
So, you know about stars. But what if those stars formed a super group like The Avengers? Well, then you have a Constellation!
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about stars, constellations, and how humans have used constellations to tell stories for a really long time.

Comment Help
Remember, your comments are reflective comments just like your smiley face comments at school. You can share what you’ve learnt, what you enjoyed and ask any questions you may have. Also, don’t forget to write full sentences with the correct punctuation!
A bad example: ‘I’ve learnt loads, that was great’
A good example: ‘I’ve learnt that the Sun is in the centre of our solar system and that it is really big’
Never Use a Full Name
Use other names, but nothing silly as this name appears for everyone to see. Names that are full names or sill names will not be posted. Use abbreviations like Mr G or Miss P or your initials will do.
I have learnt that a constellation is a cluster of stars.There are only 88 named constellations. I have also learnt that space is almost inmeasureable in miles or kilometres.The Sun is the closest and most known star to us but it is not the biggest.
I have learnt that a constellation is a group of stars formed together to create a shape or a pattern. There is about only 1 billion constellations formed in the 14 billion years of the Big Bang but there are only 88 named constellations. Constellations help astronomers locate dull looking stars. For instance there was an constellation that located on the star map Astra called Leo
I am surprised at how big The Universe is. People do not know how big our Universe is and how many stars there are. This means our Galaxy, The Milky Way, is very tiny compared to The Universe.
I understand that when stars group together in a type of pattern it is called a constellation.
