What are stars made of? A) Hot gas B) Shiny Aliens C) Sparkling moon dust
Whilst Maggie was busy signing the books for our lucky winners we asked her for some top tips for star-gazing, this is what she said…
- With stargazing it’s all about location, location, location. Find somewhere away from the streetlights, I try to go to the back garden or go with an adult to an open field.
- It’s good to have a clear night, cloud stops us from seeing the stars and if the moon is too bright it can also be hard to see the stars.
- If you do get a clear night it can be cold so wrap up warm, but remember to let your eyes adjust to the dark. If you need light carry a red torch as this has less effect on your eyes as they adapt to the dark.
- Best of all enjoy yourself. There is so much to see with just our eyes, the Moon, stars planets and comets. Have fun!
Thanks Maggie, you’re a super star!

A Star is a big ball of gas and they are born in nebulas. The star’s colour tells us how hot or cold it is. Blue stars are the hottest stars and believe it or not the sun, being yellow, is one of the cooler stars!
