Introduction
People have been studying the wonders of space since the 4th century. as time passes, many have found astounding discoveries and found the answers to countless questions about our universe. But people still have questions about outer space that are (nearly) impossible to answer that scientists (more specifically astronomers) are even struggling. Questions like
''Are we alone in the universe?''
''What came before the Big Bang?''
''What's inside a black hole?''
Are quite difficult to answer and why scientists have these things called ''theories''
Why should we learn about space? Well, I know some people aren't interesting in space, but it's really good to know what's outside of earth/where we live. Space is our past, present and future and could really be a huge factor in times to come. Who knows? Maybe before the earth explodes, aliens can actually save us and bring us to a new planet to live in.
LETS LEARN MOREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Task
There’s a lot to talk about when space is the subject. Planets, stars, galaxies, gravity, the big bang theory, solar systems and more and more and more. Right now, we're going to get into black holes.
Black holes are areas of space that have such strong gravity, nothing can escape them. Not even light waves (btw light is the fastest thing EVER) can escape from them. They just pull things close and then suck them in. What happens after, no one can say for sure. Astronomers still don’t know what's inside a black hole and are still trying to figure it out.
Do you remember when you looked up at the night sky and you can see those beautiful twinkly things up there. Yeah me too....We know them as...............STARS. A star is a huge and bright object which is made up by a very hot gas called plasma. It is all held together by its own gravity. Fact! The Sun is a star made up of different types of gases; mostly hydrogen and helium.
We all know what The Big Bang Theory is, right? And no, I'm not talking about the TV show. The Big Bang Theory is a theory where a HUGE bang happened when there was nothing, like, literally nothing and that the explosion continuously expanded. Throughout the whole expansion, space, time, energy, matter, stars, galaxies, planets.ect. came into existence.

SEVEN FACTS ABOUT SPACE THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
- An NASA astronaut suit costs $12 million
- It's complete silence in space
- The footprints on the Moon will be there for 100 million years
- If you could fly a plane to Pluto, the trip would take more than 800 years!
- There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. That’s at least a billion trillion!
- You become taller in Space
- You can cry in space but your tears don’t fall
