"Stars and the Moon"

"Stars and the Moon" refers to celestial bodies visible in the night sky. Stars are massive, luminous balls of gas, primarily hydrogen and helium, that generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The Moon, Earth's natural satellite, reflects sunlight and orbits our planet, affecting tides and ecosystems. While stars are millions of light-years away and form constellations, the Moon is much closer, about 238,855 miles from Earth. Both have been subjects of human fascination, influencing culture, navigation, and science throughout history. Understanding them enriches our knowledge of the universe and our place within it.
