Stars have been around since the beginning of time. Ancient Egyptians studied the stars to position their pyramids and temples. Other ancient civilizations used the stars as a compass to guide them at night during expeditions across the sea. From our Solar System, scientists have estimated the Milky Way to be a 100-billion-star galaxy. As you read the story, think about ways in which stars are useful today.
