More About Lynx
Lynx is a group of stars named after a cat. It was made in the sky by a man long ago. The stars are not very bright, but they make a fun shape. People like to look for it at night.

In the future, we may find more stars and planets. Each star can tell us a new story. Stars are like little lights in the dark sky.
