GIRL: Kuya, how was the Universe created?

BOY: How can I answer this question if the Universe

isn’t created, then there was no one else to see it,
right?

ME: You’re right! There were no people. In fact, there

was no anything!

BOY: No Earth, no sky, no planet, no stars, nor

anything at all!

ME: That means Scientists have to make careful

guesses about what happened a long time ago based
on what we can see now.

GIRL: So, what can we see?

ME: Well, the both of you know what Galaxies are,

right?

BOY: Yeah! Galaxies are a big group of stars. The

Galaxy that we live in is called the Milkyway. But there
are other star groups spread out across our Universe.

ME: Exactly! And if we look closely at these galaxies-

with really strong telescopes, we can tell that most
galaxies are moving away from us.

It’s almost like everything in the Universe if flying

apart. A little bit like when we use a party popper and
all the confetti goes flying out!

GIRL: So, the Universe started of inside a party

popper?

ME: Kind of, it is actually quite similar to that.

Scientists believe that all the stuff that we see in our
Universe right now used to be scrunched down in one
tiny place like a confetti inside a party popper. But
then, it all went flying apart. And those stuff in that
small space grew and changed into stars, planets and
eventually- the three of us. Scientists called that The
Big Bang

GIRL: That’s a really big bang!

BOY: The biggest!
