INVISIBLE ARCHITECTURE
---------------------------------------For this project I have decided to focus on Stars and Creatures.
Stars
A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth. Other stars are visible in the night sky, when they are not outshone by the Sun. For most of its life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion in its core releasing energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. Almost all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium were created by fusion processes in stars.

Under-sea coral? Enchanted castle? Space serpents? These eerie, dark pillar-like structures are actually columns of hydrogen gas and dust where new stars are being formed. This picture of the Eagle Nebula was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. The nebula is 7000 light years from Earth and is huge - the largest pillar is about 4 light years from the top to bottom.
I will be researching further into the stars and see if I can create imaginary creatures from the stars.
