5.5: Wrapping It Up 5 - Cosmic Timeline

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Have you ever wondered about the events that created the Universe we live in? Do you want to know when stars first appeared or when galaxies formed? Do you know how old the Universe is? Or when our Solar System formed? Perhaps you have wondered when humankind arrived on the scene.

Explore the following timeline, and complete the questions that follow. This activity will reveal how the Universe evolved from the beginning of time through the present day. The timeline is divided into three major eras, in order from the beginning to now: the early universe (blue), the matter-dominated universe (yellow), and the modern universe (green). To see the events within a particular era, click on that era. To learn more about a particular event, click on the event. Use the scroll bar to view all events in an era.
