[1] [2] With the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and visual effects, each episode presents and narrates a topic about the universe (e.g.: the origin of the universe, the formation and the evolution of the Solar System, and the origin and behavior of life), which then are complemented with scientific insights from leading scientists of ...
In his introduction Boeke says the work originated with a school project at his Werkplaats Children's Community in Bilthoven. The idea was to draw pictures that would include ever-growing areas of space, to show how the Earth is located in an unfathomably enormous universe. Boeke then writes that he realized the reverse process—creating ...
The physical universe is defined as all of space and time [a] (collectively referred to as spacetime) and their contents. [10] Such contents comprise all of energy in its various forms, including electromagnetic radiation and matter, and therefore planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space.
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.

Insider went through the archives of three NASA observatories — JWST, Hubble, and Chandra X-ray — to find the most iconic pictures of space.
While the local geometry does not determine the global geometry completely, it does limit the possibilities, particularly a geometry of a constant curvature. The universe is often taken to be a geodesic manifold, free of topological defects; relaxing either of these complicates the analysis considerably. A global geometry is a local geometry ...
