This document provides an overview of our solar system and beyond, beginning with the planets closest to the sun and ending with a perspective of our place in the vast universe. Key points include: - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are briefly described. - Additional celestial objects mentioned include comets, auroras, the sun, Milky Way galaxy, nebulae, black holes, and the possibility of life elsewhere. - Perspective is given on our small place in the observable universe, which contains countless galaxies each with millions of stars and planets.

1. WELCOME TO OUR VIRTUAL TRIP
IN THE SPACE

2. LET US BEGIN WITH THE SOLAR
SYSTEM – OUR HOME

3. Solar system

4. Mercury is the smallest, closest to the Sun and
most fast-moving planet named after the
winged messenger of the Roman Gods

5. Venus is named after the Goddess
Venus. Sometimes it is called “Planet-
sister of the Earth"

6. Earth - the most beautiful planet and it
is our home

7. Here we are, seen from the Moon

8. Mars –it is so called “The Red Planet“-
it is the best trained planet and it is
the most likely place where you can
find water or even life

9. Jupiter is the largest and the fastest
spinning planet

10. The little green spot is North America

11. Saturn is best known for its rings
composed of ice and space dust

12. And here are six planets like Earth,
compared with Saturn

13. If Earth had rings like those of Saturn

14. Uranus- its most peculiar characteristic feature
is the inclination of its axis of rotation by almost
90 degrees

15. Neptune was the first planet and its
existence was proved by mathematical
calculations, it is farthermost from the Sun.

16. This is a comet. Here's how it looks like
when you compare it to Los Angeles

17. Here are several pictures of beautiful
auroras.

18. Auroras is an optical phenomenon seen in
the sky over the polar regions of Earth
forming in consequence of the interaction
of charged particles from the solar wind to
the magnetosphere. The phenomenon
may be likened to a stunning dance of
coloured lights in the sky. The reason for
that amazingly beautiful natural
phenomenon is the solar activity.

20. Let’s continue our space trip

21. But all this can not be compared to the
Sun:

23. Our Sun is the star in the center of
the Solar system. The average
distance from the Sun to Earth is
approximately 149.6 million
kilometers. In this average distance
light travels from the Sun to the
Earth in about 8 minutes and 19
seconds. The energy of this sunlight
supports almost all life on the Earth
through photosynthesis and guide
the planet's climate.

25. Milky road- our Universal home. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 to 120,000
light years in diameter, which contains about 100-400 billion stars.

26. All the stars in the night sky, however,
you see, are surrounded by a yellow
circle

27. That is one of the galaxies -UDF 423. It is 10
billion years away from us. When you look at
the image, you stare at billions of years in the
past.

28. Let's think a bit more extensive, however. Only in this
image taken by the telescope "Hubble", there are
thousands and thousands of galaxies, each containing
millions of stars with their own planets

29. Let’s see some new beautiful objects -
nebulae. The nebula is a cloud of
interstellar dust, gas and plasma. It can
be seen thanks to the emitted or
absorbed by her waves and particles,
which distinguishes it from the
surrounding interstellar medium.
Narrow form due to graviaty collapse of
interstellar gas in galaxies

32. A black hole is an area in space-time
that can not be divorced from
anything, even light, due to its
immense gravity.

33. Here's one that is compared to the
orbit of our Earth:

34. And, are we alone in this vast
universe?

35. ... .or there are other living
creatures?

36. Look at that lovely planet and never forget that we
must do our best to save it! It is our home!

37. Here it goes: This is the entire observable
Universe. And our place is in it. We are
like small ants in a giant jar.
