High-Level Project Summary
Our goal is making people understand why the stars' brightness changes at night. First of all, stars are a sphere of plasma composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium glowing in space. Brightness of the stars depends on their temperature, raidus and atmosphere. Beacuse of the gases in the Earth's atmosphere, the brightness of the stars are lower. And that is why we need to protect our atmosphere. Another variable that effects the way we see the stars is humidity. Humidity makes the lights that is coming from the stars refract. We need to mention Cepheids too. Cepheids are the type of stars that does not have the balance between inside and outside pressure.

Detailed Project Description
Our goal is to let everyone understand why does the stars brightness change in the night sky so even if we knew more knowledge we could not include the rest because if we did everyone could'nt understand our project.Our projects benefit is to get knowledge from multiple sources that are complex turn them more basic and then organize them to reach and teach everyone .
Space Agency Data
We used NASA's resources to learn about cepheids and we learned about light curves from NASA's resources. And also we learned about variable stars from NASA's
Hackathon Journey
We chose "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" because it intrigued us. So, we shared our works and started doing researches. But when we talked with a mentor, we learned that the information we gathered had nothing to do with our challange. After that we did a lot more researches. And at last, we came up with this project and also had a lot of fun while doing this project.
