Once, webelievedour Milky Way Galaxy was everything. Now we know our universe contains billions of galaxies and has a long history.As the author Douglas Adams put it, “You just won’t believe how incredibly vast and mind-bogglingly huge space is. I mean, you might think going to the corner store is a long journey, but that’s absolutely minuscule compared to the grandeur of space.”

Consider this: In our Milky Way alone, we estimate around 100 billion stars, and across the Universe, there are at least 140 billion galaxies. If galaxies were frozen peas, there would be enough to fill an auditorium the size of the Royal Albert Hall.Now, let’s ponder this cosmic question: How did this unimaginably colossal Universe come into existence?The universe began with theBig Bang, a massive space explosion. From hot, dense conditions, space expanded, cooled down, and created basic elements. Gravity gathered matter, forming the first stars and galaxies. These galaxies grouped into clusters, and some stars exploded, seeding new ones and letting rocky planets form.

Have you ever witnessed a rocket launching into space? It’s quite a spectacle because rockets have to reach incredibly high speeds! To orbit around Earth, a rocket zooms at a staggering 17,600 miles per hour. But if your journey takes you beyond Earth’s gravity, you have to go even faster, sometimes reaching speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour!

The longest duration spent in space is a remarkable 437 days – that’s over a whole year! Valery Polyakov secured this record during his mission, which lasted from January 1994 until March 1995. During this extensive stay in space, he completed a staggering 7,000 orbits around Earth while dedicating his time to conducting experiments and scientific research.

Space is eerily silent because sound requires a medium, like air, to travel through, and space is mostly a vacuum devoid of air. However, astronauts have a lifesaver – they communicate using radios, as radio waves can still transmit through the vacuum of space. Phew, indeed! Without that, those long months in space would be quite isolating.
