Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. When I was just a child I thought that stars are really small. I also thought that day that stars are fireflies LOL. But as we get older and grow bigger, we learn many important things in our world. From basic mathematical operations we used everyday, to observing stars that are scattered on our evening sky, by studying we are able to know now that stars are not really shaped like a lantern but it is most likely shaped rounded.

When we talk about a human star, it pertains to a popular person, he is really a bright star indeed. These stars can be a celebrity, an athlete, or any other person that are very popular locally and worldwide. When we talked about star most specially kids, they will say that a star is not really rounded but perhaps, it shaped like a pentacle or most likely a lantern. Since star shines because of the heat it generates, it sparks and twinkles when we see it on our planet Earth. And those pentacles are just the light that a star produced all around it. From a distant view it looks like a lantern but viewing it magnified will show that any other stars are just like our Sun.

Here is the of the most brightest stars.
