It is a remnant from an early stage of the universe, also known as "relic radiation".

It is the increase in distance between any two given gravitationally unbound parts of the observable universe with time.

It is a form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe.

It is a form of energy that affects the universe on the largest scales.

It is a phenomenon where electromagnetic radiation (such as light) from an object undergoes an increase in wavelength.

In this era, a gravitational singularity before this time and it is hypothesized that the four fundamental forces all have the same strength, and are possibly even unified into one fundamental force.

Triggered by the separation of the strong nuclear force, the universe undergoes an extremely rapid exponential expansion.

The temperature of the universe falls to the point (about a billion degrees) where atomic nuclei can begin to form as protons and neutrons combine through nuclear fusion to form the nuclei of the simple elements of hydrogen, helium and lithium.

8.5 - 9 billion years. Our sun is a late-generation star, incorporating the debris from many generations of earlier stars, and it and the only Solar System around it form roughly 4.5 to 5 billion years ago (8.5 to 9 billion years after the Big Bang)

A branch of natural science that studies non-living systems, in contrast to Life Science.

A branch of astronomy that involves the origin and evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to today and on into the future

What are the 3 cosmic stages through which specific group of elements were formed?

Explains how the elements were initially formed the formation of different elements involved many nuclear reactions, including fission, fusion and radioactive decay.

A point in space and/or a moment in time where the universe was infenitely hot and dense.

Is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the early universe. The inflationary epoch lasted from 10-36 seconds.

Is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons, primarily protons and neutrons.

Refers to the epoch at which charged electrons and protons first became bound to form electrically neutral hydrogen atoms.

In physics, reaction in which a particle and its antiparticle collide and disappear, releasing energy.

The displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects. Or In physics, is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation (such as light).

Is the smallest unit of matter that have all the properties of an element. It is composed of smaller subatomic particles as protons, neutrons, and electrons.

In a Periodic Table of Elements, it indicates the number of protons in an atom. In a neutral atom, number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

In a Periodic Table of Elements, it is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.

Refers to atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic masses.
