Explore the profound origins of the universe, from the explosive birth of the Big Bang to the formation of stars and galaxies through gravity. Witness the evolution from cosmic soup to the vast cosmos we know today.

STARTS EXPANDING….. EVERYTHING! ENERGY INCREASING, BECOMING LIKE A BOMB…….
The Big Bang • Not really an ‘explosion’ • Universe expanded rapidly as a whole • (Universe is still expanding today as a result of the Big Bang) • Matter was created in the form of tiny particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) • Too hot for normal ‘stuff’ to form (eg atoms, molecules)
COSMIC ‘SOUP’ PROTON NEUTRON ELECTRON
300,000 Years Later….. • Universe much cooler, atoms start to form….. • Hydrogen, Helium, normal ‘stuff’
Universe is now a GAS HELIUM HYDROGEN
Gravitational Collapse • We started with a uniform gas • Small regions became more dense • The denser regions had larger gravity and started to pull other particles towards them • The gaseous Universe began to look ‘clumpy’
What have we learnt? • The Universe started with a BIG BANG • Gradually the particles were drawn together under GRAVITY to form STARS and GALAXIES • Many stars have planets around them • The fate of the Universe is uncertain…
