   Universe , the whole cosmic system of matter and  energy  of which  Earth , and therefore the  human race , is a part. Humanity has traveled a long road since societies imagined Earth, the  Sun , and the  Moon  as the main objects of creation, with the rest of the universe being formed almost as an afterthought. Today it is known that Earth is only a small ball of rock in a  space  of unimaginable vastness and that the birth of the  solar system  was probably only one event among many that occurred against the backdrop of an already mature universe.
