DO YOU KNOW HOW IT ALL STARTED?

IT ALL BEGAN ABOUT 4.6 BILLION YEARS AGO IN A WISPY CLOUD OF GAS AND DUST.

This cloud was a small part of a much bigger one.

APPEARENCE OF A FLAT SPINNING DISK OF DUST AND GAS.

At some point, part of the cloud collapsed in on itself.

OUR SUN WAS BORN.

When enough material collected at this disk’s center, nuclear fusion began.

THE CLUMPS BECAME PLANETS, ASTEROIDS, COMETS AND MOONS.

The material left behind the sun clumped together into bigger and bigger pieces.

ONLY ROCKY THINGS COULD SURVIVE CLOSE TO THE SUN.

So gaseous and icy material collected further away. That’s how our solar system came to be the place it is today.
