Insight: Early Universe

Vol. 440, No. 7088 pp1125-1156

early universe

We can now see many galaxies as they were within the first billion years after the Big Bang, and we have moved to a model of cosmology in which a mysterious 'dark energy' is the main component of the Universe. Bold new theories and a range of ground- and space-based instruments promise to provide further insights into the formation and evolution of our Universe.
