The universe

According to the "Big Bang" theory, the universe began its initial expansion about 13,700 million years ago. Our universe, which first existed in a relatively small, compact state, is comprised of some three-hundred trillion stars and one-hundred trillion galaxies that are moving away from each other. Astronomer Edwin Hubble made the first description of the Big Bang theory in the 1920s.
