Universe timeline, artwork
Big Bang and Evolution of Galaxies - The observable Universe is about 84 billion light years across. According to the standard view of cosmolog, the Universe underwend a brief period of super-fast expansion in its earliest moments. However, it doesn t look infinite because we can only see light from galaxies that has had time to reach us in the 13, 7 billion years since the Big Bang

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Universe timeline" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the vast expanse of space and time. Created by Detlev van Ravenswaay, this artwork beautifully illustrates the evolution of galaxies and the immense scale of our observable Universe. Against a striking black background, we are presented with a visual representation of the Big Bang and its subsequent expansion. The labeled map guides us through various stages in cosmic history, from the formation of protogalaxies to the present day. It reminds us that our Universe spans an astonishing 84 billion light years across. The image highlights how our understanding of cosmology has evolved over time. According to scientific consensus, there was a rapid period of expansion known as cosmic inflation shortly after the Big Bang. This explains why, despite being immense, our Universe appears finite - limited by the distance light can travel in 13.7 billion years. With its intricate details and meticulous annotations, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a work of artistry. It combines elements from astrophysics, astronomy, and historical research to provide viewers with a glimpse into the mysteries unfolding beyond Earth's boundaries. Detlev van Ravenswaay's creation invites contemplation about our place in this grand tapestry of existence while showcasing humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the secrets held within our ever-expanding cosmos.
