Universe

Description

Cosmology & the universe. using images collected by a fleet of telescopes, satellites and inter-planetary probes, “universe” embarks on a voyage to the edge of the cosmos. navigating through thick swarms of stars, we reach the galactic core, a gravitational maelstrom of exotic stars in the thrall of a supermassive black hole. hundreds of thousands of light years must be covered to reach the milky way’s companions, the large and small magellanic clouds, and millions more devoured before we cross true intergalactic space. out here we watch the hidden lives of galaxies: we see them locked in gravitational combat, tearing each other apart or swallowing their companions whole. now billions of light years from earth, we can discern the large-scale structure of the universe. having crossed an almost unimaginable 13.4 billion light years, we encounter a wall of radiation. here our voyage into the cosmos must finally end, for we have reached the very edge of the visible universe.
