Galaxies were made approximately
13billion years ago. It started with a
small glow in space called the Big Bang.
A long time after The Big Bang the gas
became hot and dense enough for the
first star to form.
A Galaxy is billions of stars with gas and dust. They are
held together by a gravitational attraction.
Wow!
What is the Milky Way you ask?
The Milky Way is the name of the
Galaxy that has 9 planets ,the Sun and
billions of other stars in it.
There are hundreds of billions of estimated Galaxies but over the years
technology (having bigger and better equipment )has changed and now they
are finding lots more of them.
There are three types of Galaxies- Spiral-Elliptical-Irregular
The only difference in these Galaxies are the size .
The smallest of the three types is the Elliptical Galaxy.

Along time ago little rocks crashed into each
other and that pile got bigger and bigger to
make a planet.
Although we only talk about one sun in the sky there are
more. The sun is a star, so however many stars there are in
the Universe is how many suns the are. And that is over 100
billion suns/stars.
We don’t call all
the stars the suns
because there is
only one star
close enough to
Earth to call it
the Sun.
WOW
Star
•A star has its own light
•A star twinkles in the sky
•A telescope can only make it brighter
but not bigger because the star is too
far away
•A star has a high temperature
Planet
•A Planet does not twinkle
•A Planet does not have its own light , It gets
light from the Sun
•A telescope can make the Planet look
bigger because the Planets are closer than
the stars
•A Planet has a low temperature
The colours of the planets are not what you think. Yes the sun is yellow , red and orange.
