    The universe is composed primarily of dark energy (70%) and dark matter (25%), with visible matter making up only 5%. The dominant theories of the formation and evolution of the universe are the Big Bang theory and the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation from NASA's COBE mission in 1989. Galaxies formed as the universe expanded and cooled after the Big Bang, with the Milky Way galaxy composed of a halo, nuclear bulge, and disk containing over 400 billion stars and the solar system.

    In the beginning...

    Stars are born deep in very cold dark (optically thick) clouds. Their birth
    is ‘secret’: not visible at optical wavelength. Infrared telescopes can
    penetrate through these clouds and witness the first signs of life from a

    Milky Way
    The Milky Way system is a spiral galaxy
    consisting of over 400 billion stars , plus
    gas and dust arranged into three general
    components as shown to the right:

    •The halo - a roughly spherical distribution


    which contains the oldest stars in the
    Galaxy

    •The nuclear bulge and Galactic Center

    •The disk: contains the majority of the


    stars, including the sun, and virtually all of
    the gas and dust
