The Beginning of Light
In the very beginning, there was just darkness, no stars, no planets. But then, something happened: gas started to clump together and get super hot until it burned like a star. These were the first stars in our universe!
Think about it like this: imagine you're in a big empty room. You throw some balls around, they bump into each other and start moving faster and faster. That’s what happened with gas in space, and eventually, it became stars.
Examples
- If you drop marbles into a bowl of water, they float around until they clump together.
- Burning wood in a fire is like the first stars burning bright.
