Earth

Solar System The Sun 8 planets (pluto – dwarf planet)

62 moons thousands of asteroids, comets, meteorids, space rocks and bits of space dust;

Milky Way Galaxy Huge city of stars; Very large in size – travelling at the speed of light ( m/sec) it would take years to travel across it; million stars; Gets its name from the lovely ribbon of light that forms across the night sky;

Local Group of Galaxies Group of galaxies that contains approximately 20 bright galaxies and 30 galaxies in total; Largest galaxies in the local group are spirals Andromeda and Milky way

The Universe Billions of galaxies; Galaxies are clumped together in clusters; Farthest radio signals from a galaxy came from 12 billion light-years away; Scientists believe the universe stretches out far beyond what we can see; Theory – parts of the universe may look very different from ours and may even have different laws of nature;
