Summary
| Description |
English: The age of the universe is currently estimated at 13.8 billion years and the diagram displays the various stages that the universe has gone through. It shows that the first atoms formed at roughly 380,000 years after the Big Bang and that the first stars started to shine after around 200 million years. The first galaxies started forming after approximately 400 million years, with dark energy forming after around 10 billion years, so 3.8 billion years ago. |
