cosmic evolution

Cosmic evolution refers to the gradual development of the universe from the Big Bang to the present day. It encompasses the formation of fundamental particles, atoms, stars, galaxies, and ultimately, planets and life. This process involves various cosmic events, such as stellar births and deaths, which create and recycle elements. Over billions of years, structures in the universe became more complex, leading to the diversity of celestial phenomena we observe today. By studying cosmic evolution, scientists gain insight into the origins of the universe and the processes that have shaped its current state.
