How and When didthe Universe start?

Astronomers are scientists who study the universe.Many of them believe that the universe began about

15 billion years ago. They think that at first the

universe was very, very small and made from

completely different materials than it is today. Soonafter it began, the universe started to spread out

very rapidly. This growth is now called the Big Bang

because it was so fast it was like an explosion.

How and When did

the Universe start

Before the Big Bang, the universe was the size of a

pinhead. Then it expanded so rapidly that it was like

an explosion. There was a great flash of light and

intense heat of billions and billions degrees Celsius.

There is nothing in the universe today that is as hot

as that.

After the Big Bang, the universe continued to spread

out and cool slowly. At first, it seemed a hazy mass.

As time passed, gases began to form and parts of

the universe became clearer.

Huge clouds formed

How and When did

the Universe start

As the universe kept spreading out, gases came

together to form huge clouds known as

proto-galaxies. The proto-galaxies eventually gave

birth to stars.

The universe today

Stars, gas and dust came together to form groups

called galaxies. Galaxies can contain billions of stars.Today, the universe is made up of billions of galaxies.
