COSMIC MESSAGE

This animated frame shows a cosmological simulation of the early universe. Cosmologists use computer programs to track millions of particles to understand how our universe looked when it was young. The universe started out very smooth, with matter and light spread almost uniformly. Over time, gravity caused slight gatherings of mass to accrete, leading to the structures we see today.
