The universe

The Universe
The Universe is everything we can touch, feel, sense, measure or detect. It includes living things,
planets, stars, galaxies, dust clouds, light, and even time.The Universe contains billions of galaxies,
each containing millions or billions of stars. The space between the stars and galaxies is largely
empty.No one knows the exact size of the Universe, because we cannot see the edge – if there is one.
All we do know is that the visible Universe is at least 93 billion light years across.
The Universe has not always been the same size.The Universe has been expanding outward at very
high speed. So the area of space we now see is billions of times bigger than it was when the Universe
was very young.The galaxies are also moving further apart as the space between them expands.
The Galaxy
The Galaxy
Our universe is about 13.8 billion years old, so most galaxies formed when the universe
was quite young! Astronomers believe that our own Milky Way galaxy is approximately
13.6 billion years old.
A galaxy is a gravitationally bound entity, typically consisting of dark matter, gas, dust
and stars.
The most well-known galaxy is our own milky way,Until the early 20th century, it was
widely believed that the Milky Way was the only such structure in the Universe. Around
the middle of the 18th Century, German philosopher Immanuel Kant proposed “island
Universes” that were similar to the Milky Way and that populated the Universe.
Black hole
Black hole
Black holes are formed when massive stars die. The intense gravitational force that they exert allows nothing to
escape.Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks.
There are four types of black holes: stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature. The most commonly known way
a black hole forms is by stellar death.
Small black holes populate the universe, but their cousins, supermassive black holes, dominate. These enormous black
holes are millions or even billions of times as massive as the sun, but are about the same size in diameter. Such black
holes are thought to lie at the center of pretty much every galaxy, including the milky Way.
Scientists aren't certain how such large black holes spawn. Once these giants have formed, they gather mass from the
dust and gas around them, material that is plentiful in the center of galaxies, allowing them to grow to even more
enormous sizes.Supermassive black holes may be the result of hundreds or thousands of tiny black holes that merge
together.
Big bang
Big Bang

The big bang theory is the idea that the universe began as just a single hotpoint mixed
with light and energy. After that tiny particles grouped together and formed atoms then
those atoms grouped and formed stars and galaxies. After when galaxies were crashing
and grouping together and new stars were being born and dying
,asteroids,planets,comets and black holes formed and as scientists are saying it happened
13.7 billion years ago.
