There’s something interesting about our universe.

This runs through from as big as our solar system to as small as an atom.

If you paid attention in class, you’d have learned that the planets (earth is one of them) revolve around the sun. Meanwhile, electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Kids were running around and screaming in joy.
