First movie of Earth from space made without a human camera operator (contrast to Titov's 1961 movie) [35] April 24, 1967 [36] Surveyor 3: First images and view of a sunset and sunrise over Earth at the same time, a solar eclipse by Earth (a celestial body other than the Moon), from the Moon's surface.

A graphical view of the Cosmic Calendar, featuring the months of the year, days of December, the final minute, and the final second. The Cosmic Calendar is a method to visualize the chronology of the universe, scaling its currently understood age of 13.8 billion years to a single year in order to help intuit it for pedagogical purposes in science education or popular science.
Since the universe is expanding, the equation for that expansion can be "run backwards" to its starting point. The Lambda-CDM concordance model describes the expansion of the universe from a very uniform, hot, dense primordial state to its present state over a span of about 13.77 billion years [12] of cosmological time.
This week, see the first cosmic images taken by the Euclid telescope, read 265-year-old letters, uncover the volcanic threat lurking beneath Italy, and more. New celestial images will create a 3D ...
The 20-year project could shed new light on how our universe expanded – and fill in a huge 'gap' in our history of the universe, scientists said. Biggest-ever 3D map of the universe unveiled ...
Most astronomers believe the universe is 13.7 billion years old. A new study says that figure could be closer to 26.7 billion.
The images can be interpreted to indicate that the universe is 13.7 billion years old (within one percent error), and are very consistent with the Lambda-CDM model and the density fluctuations predicted by inflation. Cosmic microwave background as measured by the Cosmic Background Imager experiment. 2003 – The Sloan Great Wall is discovered.
Euclid’s first images were released in November 2023, but the telescope began regularly observing the sky in February. So far, the observatory has completed 12% of its survey.
