The Origin of Galaxies

Description:

This program presents a possible scenario for the origin of the universe. Though much of what is believed about the universe�s early history remains conjecture, advances in science technology have provided intriguing clues to the question of when the galaxies formed. There is hope that further advances will make it possible to determine, through direct observation, how the universe and the magnificent galaxies it encompasses came into being.
