The Outskirts of the Milky Way
Our solar system is not the only solar system out there.We are one of 500 hundred solar systems in a universe that goes flippin' forever!
Plus,guess how old space is? It is 13.8 billion years old!The Big Bang happened about a year afterward.About 13.7 billion years ago.
When that happened a lot of gas, water,and other things came together. As you know,from my previous article, there are 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets.
Well,back to today. Outside of the Milky Way-our solar system-there are 500 others along with gas and comets and - you get the picture.
But there among those planets the one question swimming around in every space geek mind is:Is there life? Any life. More humans? Aliens? Hopefully we are soon to find out.
I can't say much more because I don't know much more. So that will be the end of my article.
