Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at nineteen miles a second ,so it's reckoned, a sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day.
In an outter spiral arm, at fourty thousand miles an hour, of the galaxy we call the "Milky Way".
Our glaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred light years side to side
It bulges in the middle,sixteen thousand light years thick,but out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round two hundred million years,and our galaxy in only one of only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all the directions it can whizz,as fast as it can go, at the speed of light,you know, tweleve million miles a minute, and thats the fastest speed there is.
