How did our universe begin?

Scientist believe that millions of years ago the universe formed in a colossal explosion called the Big Bang. Within seconds this fireball expanded and cooled from fantastic temperatures into the universe we know. Zillions of particles cooled from the super-hot gas created by the explosion, and started to swirl towards one another by the universal force of gravity. The particles formed stars and planets. On one of these planets - earth - life began 4,600 million years ago.
