13.8 billion years ago, the universe was a tiny, sizzling hot dot. Out of nowhere, BOOM! The Big Bang happened! This incredible explosion created time, space, and all the matter we know today. In just a fraction of a second, from a small white pulsating dot  the universe expanded faster than the speed of light, with many obstract figures around. Particles collided, forming atoms, stars, and galaxies. But it didn't stop there. Gravity pulled gas and dust together to spark the birth of stars. Some stars exploded in supernovae, creating the heavier elements like gold and oxygen. These elements scattered across space, eventually forming planets, including Earth. The universe is still expanding today, a testament to that initial, magnificent bang.
