    The document describes the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe, where all matter and energy was condensed together about 14 billion years ago before exploding and expanding outward to form the billions of galaxies that continue moving away from each other today. It also briefly mentions that the Milky Way galaxy contains trillions of stars and that the closest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri, located 4 light years away, while the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.

     Theory of the creation of

    the Universe.
     All matter and energy was
    together about 14 billion
    years ago. It exploded and
    the pieces (billions of
    galaxies) have been
    expanding ever since.
     The spiral galaxy we live in. It contains
    TRILLIONS of stars!
     The closest star to the sun (4 light-years
    away!)
     186,000 miles per second, or 300,000
    kilometers per second.
     Distance light travels in a year.

     Lets calculate it!
