How did it all begin? (and when)
Up until a few years ago, scientists estimated that the age of the universe was from 10 Billion years to 20 Billion years old.

Up until a few years ago, scientists estimated that the age of the universe was from 10 Billion years to 20 Billion years old. Why the wide range…..? …the means by which distance in space is measured.

How did it all begin? (and when)
The further a star is away from you, the faster it is moving and the more its light is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This is called the red shift.

How did it all begin? (and when) The interesting thing about all this is that the visible university is actually much larger than this. Some estimate it up to 90+ Billion light years. The reason is that there was a period of expansion in the past when the universe, well, expanded. Really, Really fast.
Actual size of the universe? 160 billion+ light years

How did it form?
A really, really, really
massive explosion termed the
“Big Bang”
Supporting evidence: mathematics and the composition of the visible university (specifically the H:He ratio)

Why are stars “bright”?
Enter fusion…. ... and as H “burns” away, new elements form through the process (Li, Be, B, C, N, O...... ...all the way to Fe

Supernovae occur when very massive stars collapse because fusion stops when the star becomes too enriched in iron. The atoms within the star are compressed to neutrons (Neutron star).
