    The group of stars arranged in a definite pattern is called constellation. In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms, which are patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky.

    The principle of Black hole was enunciated by S. Chandrashekhar. A Black Hole is a region of space-time from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole, there is a mathematically defined surface called an event an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The hole is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon,reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics.

    Our solar system is located in Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. Its name "Milky" is derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars.

    White Dwarf is known as Fossil star. They are supported by electron degeneracy pressure. It amplifies the contrast with red giants. They are both very hot and very small. They are the opposite of black holes. They are end-products of small, low-mass stars.
