In summary, the universe is a vast expanse of space containing galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. It is approximately 13.8 billion years old and its main components are dark matter, dark energy, and ordinary matter. There are estimated to be around 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, but it is likely that there are many more waiting to be discovered. While there is currently no conclusive evidence, it is highly probable that there is life on other planets within the vastness of the universe.
