From the Big Bang to the Black Hole, the story of the universe
This is a children’s liberal arts science book that uses fun methods to answer the questions that children may have about the universe. This book provides answers to various questions in a fun, easy, and interesting way, covering the Earth where we live, the Solar System, the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe, and black holes, the last stage of a star’s life.
The book starts with the birth of the universe. The universe started with the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. A universe as small as a tiny seed, so small that you could barely see it, exploded along with an enormous explosion called the Big Bang, becoming as big as the solar system we know today. It continues to grow even larger at the present moment. The universe which suddenly came into being was initially very hot. Evidence of the Big Bang is spread throughout space in the form of cosmic microwave background radiation. As the universe began cooling down as it expanded, stars repeatedly came into being and then disappeared. A few billion years later, the Sun was formed, and the solar system came about, moving by the gravity of the Sun.
And so continues more exciting facts about the solar system, starting with its eight planets including Earth, in which we inhabit, Venus and Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto, which is now referred to as a dwarf planet. We cannot leave out the story of stars, which incites the most curiosity out of all. This book helps to understand various questions such as what constitutes a star and why stars shine, the true identity of the luminous galaxies in the night’s dark sky, and why constellations change. Based on the scientific facts we have discovered, the story ends with us imagining what will be at the end of the universe when all the stars and galaxies have disappeared?
The past few centuries have yielded more discoveries about the universe than humanity has uncovered in the thousands of years prior. Starting from the beginning of the universe , all the beings which exist in the universe, and up to the end of the universe, this book teaches from the eye level of children in a fun and exciting way.
