Space is a vast and indescribably large ocean of stars and matter. When we look up into the sky all we see are clouds, the sun, and blue as far as the eye can see. Then at night when we look up we see more of what space looks like, but still nothing like what it looks like from space. Our planet orbits around a star called the sun. When we make one full orbit around the sun then we have completed a full year. But are we the center of the universe or just a tiny spec on the vast majorities of galaxies all around us.
Our solar system compared to the rest of the universe is like a grain of sand on a beach. Although it our Earth (and solar system for that matter) seem huge to us, we aren’t even considered when looking at the universe. I would think that the universe is a couple other galaxies just floating around in space, but I learned that there are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of galaxies in our universe. If only there was someway I could learn more about our universe.
Thanks to a few different Deep Space programs we are finding out more and more about Outer Space and the galaxies around us. One thing that we found out is that there is a dwarf galaxy slowly moving towards us and that when it collides with the Milky Way it mutate our galaxy. That is no big problem compared to another monster galaxy charging toward us. The Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way galaxy are slowly moving toward each other. When they collide it will do more than mutate our galaxy. It will change our night sky forever!

I liked your simile at the beginning of the second paragraph about the grain of sand and our solar system. The paragraphs could be a little longer because you didn’t get into that much detail. It was still good though
