THE UNIVERSE
The Universe is about 14 billion years old. The Big Bang
formed the universe. The Big Bang was a big explosion. We
don’t know why it happened. The universe is very big and it
is getting bigger every day, just like you.
The universe is made up of everything – planets, solar
systems, galaxies and black holes.
GALAXIES
A galaxy is a group of stars and planets. There are 170
billion galaxies that we know in the universe. There might
be more!!!!
Galaxies are many different shapes and sizes, some have few
stars and some have a lot of stars.
MILKY WAY
Our galaxy is called the Milky Way. It takes 120,000 light
years to travel from one side of the Milky Way to the other
side. A light year is how far light travels in 1 year. 1
light year = 9,460,730,472,580,800 metres. The Milky Way
has 400 billion stars and about 400 billion planets too.
BLACK HOLES
Black holes are in the centre of galaxies. They have strong
gravity. We can’t see black holes. Black holes form when old
stars explode. Black holes can be very big. They can pull
stars into them.
AIR AND TEMPERATURE IN SPACE
There is no air in space to breathe and it can be very hot
and very cold in space. Astronauts wear a spacesuit when
they are in space. This suit gives them oxygen and protects
from the extreme heat and cold. If astronauts didn’t have
this spacesuit, travelling to and living in space would be
impossible.

Telescopes.
Telescopes are used to look at planets and stars. There are many
different types of telescopes. Some are small and some are very,
very big. The most famous telescope is the Hubble Space Telescope.
This telescope went into space in 1990. It is 25 years old. It has
taken some of the best pictures of stars and galaxies.
Observatories are buildings where people study stars, planets, and
galaxies. An observatory has one or two very big telescopes.
Observatories are usually on top of mountains.
Planetariums are theatres. Here you can see videos about the
Universe. Have you visited a planetarium?
Stars
A star is a bright ball of very hot gases. The Sun is the nearest
star to Earth. The next nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centaure.
It is 4.2 light years away. This means it takes 4.2 light years
for the light from this start to reach Earth. It would take 75,000
years to visit this star in a spaceship.
Stars are many different colours.
