Cosmic Origins Program

The Cosmic Origins Program is a NASA initiative focused on understanding the universe's beginnings, the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets, and the conditions that may support life. It aims to explore fundamental questions about how the cosmos evolved and the nature of matter and energy. Through advanced telescopes and space missions, the program studies cosmic phenomena, such as the early universe and the chemical processes leading to the creation of essential elements for life. This research helps us grasp our place in the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth.
