- Check out this wonderful poem on the old nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"! I so shamelessly nicked it from the Wikipedia!
Twinkle Twinkle Little StarI know exactly what you are
- Opaque ball of hot dense gasMillion times our planet's massLooking small because you're farI know exactly what you are
- Fusing atoms in your coreHydrogen, helium, carbon and moreWith such power you shine farTwinkle twinkle little star
- Classed by their spectroscopyOh, Be A Fine Girl Kiss MeBright when close and faint when farI know exactly what you are
- Smallest ones burn cool and slowStill too hot to visit, thoughRed stars dominate by farTwinkle twinkle little star
- Largest ones are hot and blueSupernova when they're throughThen black hole or neutron starI know exactly what you are
- Our Sun's average as stars goFormed 5 billion years agoHalfway through its life so farTwinkle twinkle little star
- Forming from collapsing cloudsCold and dusty gas enshroudsSpinning, heating protostarI know exactly what you are
So, How is it? I only wish I knew who the original author of this poem is! I swear, I'd hug the person and gift him a rubber mallet! :DOften forming multiplyClusters bound by gravityOpen type or globularTwinkle twinkle little star
