The major body in the Solar System is the Sun. The Solar System is made up of nine planets and their satellites, comets and countless minor bodies of meteorites and meteors. Various telescopes and instruments are used to study the Sun and other stars. The telescope makes it possible to study many star groups. The telescope is most useful to show detail and take photographs of the night sky.
Modern theory portrays that a star begins inside a nebula and contracts.
Later it joins the main sequence. Eventually it will collapse into a condensed white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, according to its mass. This unit will be used as a tool to enhance the eighth grade Earth Science unit on astronomy. This unit will be spread out and dissected to fit whatever aspect in the astronomy unit requires illuminating from data that I have gathered. In two of my classes this unit will be taught in its entirety.
