Course overview

Planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy comprise the universe. The Big Bang theory is the predominant cosmological explanation of the universe's evolution. According to this theory, space and time emerged simultaneously 13.7870.020 billion years ago, and since the big bang, the universe has been expanding. While the size of the entire universe is unknown, the observable universe has a diameter of approximately 93 billion light-years at the present time. Ancient greek and indian philosophers created geocentric models of the universe that placed the Earth at the center.
