OUR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE

IF THE EARTH IS OUR HOUSE, THE SOLAR SYSTEM IS OUR SOLAR SYSTEM NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE VIA LACTEA, OUR CITY.

 "We are part of the universe, a complex set of stars suspended in the immense space"

 

THE UNIVERSE

Our universe is everything that surrounds us, now, when referring to the universe, we do it thinking only of the components that appear in the sky. The sun, the moon and the stars are the most known celestial objects. But there are more planets, comets, and many other stars, which constitute the universe that we know today.

THE ASTROS THAT WE CAN DISTINGUISH IN HEAVEN

We can easily see in the sky, many stars and groups of stars. The use of devices such as telescopes, allows to expand the number of objects observed, as well as its variety. It has also been possible, thanks to the observations made with very precise equipment, to elaborate hypotheses of the general structure of the universe.

NEBULAS

Gigantic clouds of dust and gases with undefined shape, and characteristic luminosities.

GALAXY

Formed by stars, planets and other minor stars, accompanied by gases and dust.
