9 Planets adlib

About 12 billion years ago, scientists believe the universe was created from a single explosion. Hot hydrogen and helium spread out and formed organized structures. Over time, countless galaxies with billions of stars formed. Our sun captured gas and dust to create the nine planets in our solar system. We are told, about 12 billion years ago, scientists think, from a single explosion, the universe was born. In those first moments, we are told, intensely hot hydrogen and helium raced outward, thinning, cooling, and clumping into vast, organized structures. They say within a few billion years, countless galaxies had emerged, each one containing hundreds of billions of stars, constantly changing in cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. And one of these galaxies, about five billion years ago, one average-sized star, our sun, captured in its gravitational field the gas and dust that would become the nine planets of our solstice.
