     All About The Author

About billions of years ago, the universe did not exist! But, as the Big Bang Theory suggests, the universe was formed by a big explosion. While there are many other very different theories, we'll just focus on the Big Bang Theory for now. So, the Big Bang Theory, a theory that suggests that the universe was made by an explosion, which made clouds of gas, which got very cold, which made all of the universes, galaxies, solar systems, stars, planets, basically everything?! Well, based on hundreds and hundreds of years of scientific research, this theory can be supported!

Fun Fact: There were other theories about the universe, like the geocentric, or earth-centered, model, founded by Claudius Ptolemy. 

      Chapter 1: A Background on Our Universe

Our solar system is a gigantic place. It is made up of the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury is the first of the inner, or terrestrial planets, and is the smallest  planet of our solar system. Venus is also one of the inner, or terrestrial, planets, and is the hottest planet in our solar system.  Earth, another one of the inner, or terrestrial, planets is the only planet that has life in our solar system. Mars, the final inner, or terrestrial, planet, is known as the Red Planet in our solar system.  The inner planets all have things in common, like they all have rocky surfaces that can be stood on. Also, Venus and Uranus both have something in common as well. They both spin another direction than the other 6 planets: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Venus rotates from right to left, unlike the other planets, who rotate from left to right. Uranus rotates on its side!

Did you know that Mercury has temperature swings, ranging from being as hot as 800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 430 degrees Celsius, and as cold as -290 degrees Fahrenheit, or -180 degrees Celsius?

Jupiter, the first outer, or a gas giant, is the biggest planet in our solar system. Saturn, an outer, or a gas giant, is the planet known for its rings. Uranus, an outer, or a gas giant, is the planet known for rotating on its side. Uranus, the final outer, or a gas giant, planet is known for being the coldest planet in our solar system. But, our solar system doesn't even compare  to the millions of other solar systems, galaxies, even universes. There are many different types of galaxies. There are four main types of galaxies. They are: spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a barred spiral galaxy. A spiral galaxy is kind of like a circle with"arms' that make a spiral. A barred spiral galaxy is basically a spiral galaxy, but has a kind of bar shaped center. An elliptical galaxy is a galaxy that is oval-shaped, which doesn't have any "arms", An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that has no defined shape, it's organically shaped.

Fun Fact: Dwarf galaxies are the most abundant, which can be either dwarf ellipticals, or dwarf irregulars.

Saturn is one of the biggest planets in our solar system. It is the 2nd biggest, to be exact. Saturn is considered a gas giant, which means it is made up of gas. Saturn is made up of the gases: hydrogen and helium. It has a rocky and metallic center. Its rings are made up of billions of ice, dust, and rock particles. Saturn has the fastest winds in our solar system, reaching up to 1,100 mph, and is also the 6th planet from the Sun in our solar system, and is also the flattest planet in our solar system, and has a hexagonal storm. Saturn's core can get as hot as 15,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or 8,300 degrees Celsius, and Saturn can get as cold as -312 degrees Fahrenheit, or -191 degrees Celsius. Saturn has over 80 moons confirmed, with the largest of them being Titan.

Chapter 2: A Background on Saturn

Did you know that Saturn is so light-weight, that it could float in water?
