The solar system is so big and has been around for such a long time that my sister explained that it began with The Big Bang. The Big Bang theory is very confusing, but I know that it happened about 13.8 billion years ago to create our universe. There are many galaxies in the universe and we are in The Milky Way, I know I first thought of the candy bar, but that is wrong and it is home to our solar system.

The rays danced all around the big red ball but yet it was steady and calculated in its movement. I had always wanted to go out west but had never been farther west than Ohio. I also recognized that this offer came at the perfect time; both my sister and I had moved out of the house

parents were really excited and they asked me if I was excited said yes with an excited tone and a big smile. We kept on going still very excited that we have just left Colorado and headed into Utah. When we drove deeper into Utah, everything looked way different then Colorado. There were no buildings and no people walking, running, or cycling.
