Speaking of the birth of time, the Big Bang theory states that all matter and energy were once contained in compressed matter. It’s really unimaginable.

We don’t know whatever happened between the Big Bang and the tiny time afterward known as the “Planck Time” – named after the physicist Max Planck.

The first evidence to support the theory of the expanding world was found by American astronomer Edwin Hubble in 1929.

The Hubble Telescope, launched in 1990, orbits 569 km or 353 miles above the atmosphere. The telescope’s celestial position allows it to gather much more information than larger instruments that are earth-bound.
