A closer look at the stars
Stars - Information on Stars Stars are massive shining spheres of hot gas, the closest of which is our Sun. Those stars which you see with your naked eye in the night sky all belong to the Milky Way Galaxy, the huge system of stars that contains our solar system.

According to the About Astronomy and Space Online Dictionary, a star is a ball of mostly hydrogen and helium gas that shines extremely brightly. A star is so massive that its core is extremely dense and hot. At the high core temperatures of a star, atoms move so fast that they sometimes stick to other atoms when they collide with them, forming more massive atoms and releasing a great amount of energy. This process is known as nuclear fusion. Here are the Top 10 Closest Stars to our solar system. Epsilon Eridani Information
Epsilon Eridani (tenth closest star to Earth) is the closest star known to have a planet (Epsilon Eridani b), and an unconfirmed second planet (Epsilon Eridani c). While it is smaller, cooler and slightly less luminous than our own sun, Epsilon Eridani is visible to the naked eye. It is the third closest star that is viewable without a telescope.

Stars are massive shining spheres of hot gas*, the closest of which is our Sun. Stars are primarily made of hydrogen, smaller amounts of helium, and trace amounts of other elements. Even the most abundant of the other elements present in stars (oxygen, carbon, neon, and nitrogen) are only present in very small quantities. Those stars which you see with your naked eye in the night sky all belong to the Milky Way Galaxy, the huge system of stars that contains our solar system. Constellations Pictures Gallery
