California Academy of Sciences: Science @ Home - Shapes in the Sky

When the Sun goes down, the stars come out, and the light show begins! Use your imagination to see shapes—or constellations—formed by stars in the night sky.

While you watch this video, think about the three questions below. Share your answers with a friend or family member or just think in your head.

  • What do you notice as the Sun sets? What happens to the sky?
  • Have you ever seen stars in the night sky? Does the sky in the video look different? Why might that be?
  • What have you seen in the sky besides stars?
