REFLECTION
As you can see and read, I asked
about galaxies. To be honest, I really
get curious when it comes to
galaxies. It is not only because they
look cool and beautiful , Its just that
I wanted to know how did the milky
way come up with a galaxy that has
a billions and millions of stars.

Everything about solar system and

above the sky makes me wonder.
