About This Quote

When you look up at the night sky and see the twinkling stars, you might think that they are made of some sort of light. This is not the case. The stars are actually made of dust and gas that comes from exploding stars that were once used as furnaces to create all of the elements in our universe. While we cannot hold a star in our hands, we can learn a lot about them by studying them in a telescope.
