   The Universe today is very different from the Universe of the past and of the future. We can understand much about the past and the future from what we can currently see. The Universe today is filled with structure and behavior that is beautiful and confusing.

There is a very well organized Large-Scale Structure apparent in the Universe.

The Universe does not stay the same forever. In fact, we live in an Expanding Universe.

Also, the entire Universe is filled with The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. This can tell us about the origin of the Universe.

   The Universe today is very different from the Universe of the past and of the future. We can learn much about the past and the future from what we can currently observe. The Universe today is filled with structure and behavior that is beautiful and puzzling.

There is a very well organized Large Scale Structure apparent in the Universe that both excites and confuses Astrophysicists.

The Universe is also not static, in fact we live in an Expanding Universe.

Additionally, the entire Universe is filled by The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation which gives many clues as to the origin of the Universe.

   The Universe today is very different from the Universe of the past and of the future. However, we can discover much about the past and the future from what we can currently observe. The Universe today is filled with structure and behavior that is both beautiful and puzzling.

There is a very well organized Large Scale Structure apparent in the Universe that both excites and confuses Astrophysicists.

The Universe is also not static, in fact we live in an Expanding Universe.

Additionally, the entire Universe is permeated by The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation which gives many clues as to the origin of the Universe.
