Celestial object

All celestial objects are interrelated. Thanks to the universal gravitational force, celestial objects are rotating in a regular order.

The universe (cosmos) has been formed of an infinite number of galaxies. There are billions of celestial objects in each galaxy. They comprise stars emitting light and warmth, and other objects reflecting this light. Stars are different by their size and brightness. Since the old times, stars have been grouped in the form of constellations.

The Sun and planets pass through 12 constellations on their annual movement path.

Planet’s path of movement around the Sun is called an orbital path. Orbital paths are in the form of an ellipse. The solar system itself is also moving within the Milky Way Galaxy on a certain orbit.

Under the Sun’s strong gravitational force, 8 planets, tens of moons, thousands of asteroids, comets and meteorites are rotating around it.
