Through the stars, is a game application that uses available data and training to inform about the Stars and Cepheid variables for everyone and people. With the project, it is aimed for people to see with their own eyes that the night sky is not what it seems, the stars are actually always changing. For thousands of years, humans have observed that the brightness of stars varies; for example, we can see stars twinkling from the ground. Stars appear to twinkle because turbulence in Earth’s atmosphere interferes with the starlight as it travels to the planet’s surface. But since the development of telescopes, astronomers – both amateur and professional – have been studying other subtler and slower ways the brightness of stars can vary.  

Scientists have identified many thousands of variable stars and countless more are yet to be discovered. Some stars vary intrinsically – that is, their actual brightness increases and decreases. These variations can be regular: our Sun varies by about 0.1% across its 11-year Solar Cycle, while some Cepheid variables can double their brightness over the course of a week! Intrinsic variation can also be irregular or semi-regular due to flares or explosive events. Some stars vary extrinsically – that is, something external causes their apparent brightness to change. Eclipsing binary stars provide one example of extrinsic variation when one star in the binary star system passes in front of the other and blocks its light.

Thanks to satellites such as the Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, NASA has monitored many thousands of stars for years and there is a rich sampling of stars whose variability has been measured. However, since these variations are typically small and slow and the stars are faint, people can’t just look up in the night sky and see these changes.

It was a good journey (sort of) :D
