sky. It is also the study of the sun, the moon, the planets and other

Ursa Maiorand Ursa Minor
Ursa Major is a constellation of typical boreal skies, its seven brightest stars, grouped in the famous Big Dipper asterism, are visible throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.
Ursa Minor is a constellation of the northern sky. It is especially known because within it lies the north celestial pole, although its
position is subject to a continuous, slow movement due to the precession of the Earth's rotation. The Little Dipper is easily
identifiable because, once detected the Big Dipper, you can reach the Pole Star, the brightest star in Ursa Minor

Observing the sky, it seem that everything revolve around the Earth, that appeared to be the motionless of the universe. But today we know that only the moon revolves around the planet. The Earth itself travels around the Sun with other seven planets in the Solar System.

The Sun is one of numerous stars that form our galaxy, called the Milky Way.
The Sun is the centre of the Solar System, around which everything revolves. It is also the only
source of energy, the same that terrestrial organisms
exploit to perform their normal activities.

It’s an enormous discus of stars (100 milliards) long about 100 000 light-years and thick 10 000 light-
years. It’s characterized by a central swelling , called galactic nucleus,
from which depart arms, where the density of the stars is higher.

also belongs to it. Is composed of eight planets, by their natural
satellites, five dwarf planets and billions of small bodies. The planets
that compose it are …
