Universe
The universe consists of all matter, light, and other forms of radiation and energy that have been discovered by man. The universe also consists of everything that man believes to be present in space / time as a result of his theories.
Universe
The age of the universe can be estimated using several techniques. 1. Radioactive dating yields an age of the solar system of about 4.6 billion years. This is a measure of the time since solidification. 2.

The Universe
The galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. Many galaxies are part of larger gravitationally bound systems; these galaxy clusters can contain hundreds of galaxies.
THE UNIVERSE: AN OVERVIEW
Telescopes
Astronomy is increasingly recommended as an integral part of the school science curriculum. The study of astronomy is deeply rooted in culture and philosophy.
The Universe
The Universe is all matter, energy, and radiation in existence. It is composed of the super massive clusters of galaxies, the local clusters, the galaxies, the stars, planets, and miscellaneous matter.

Closed universe
If Ω1, then the geometry of space is closed like the surface of a sphere. The sum of the angles of a triangle exceeds 180 degrees and there are no parallel lines; all lines eventually meet.

The universe is expanding at great speeds, but eventually, it may slow down due to the gravitational pull from stars.
The Universe of Galaxies
Galaxies are in one sense the visible atoms of the cosmic fabric, tracing huge structures both in time and space.
The universe began with a fiery Big Bang. Matter and energy interacted with gravity and other fundamental forces to form the earliest structures.
The Universe is probably 10-20 billion years old.
Our Solar System is probably 4-5 billion years old.

The CMB is from 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
Expanding Universe :
The expanding Universe, the dynamic state of the extragalactic realm, is the discovery of which has transformed 20th-century cosmology.
The closed universe is similar to the surface of a sphere, the size is finite but there is no boundary. The size of an open universe is infinite and its geometry will be similar to a hyperbolic surface.

A universe is called homogeneous if it would look the same to all observers, no matter where they were located. The real universe is not precisely homogeneous, but it appears to be homogeneous on large scales.
The Universe sends us a tremendous amount of information in the form of electromagnetic radiation (or light). Much of this information is in the infrared, which we cannot see with our eyes or with visible light telescopes.
