origin of the Universe

This mural depicts the origin of the universe, the solar system and life on Earth. Scientists believe our universe was formed 10-20 billion years ago when a dense concentration of matter and energy exploded in the "big bang." Condensation of the resulting cloud of expanding gas formed galaxies of stars like our own Milky Way. As the gases and dust cooled and consolidated, about 4.6 billion years ago, our planets were formed. Fossils show that the first life on Earth developed about 3.5 billion years ago.
