## Summary

A short tour of everything that has ever happened — from a singularity smaller than a proton to a thin, cold sea of photons drifting through eternity. Key sections include: COSMOLOGY / 13.8 billion years, briefly.; The Hubble flash : galaxies are running away.; The Big Bang . Hot, dense, and everywhere at once.; Recombination — the universe goes transparent.; Dark ages → first stars.; Gravity sculpts the cosmic web.; Our galaxy: the Milky Way.; Dark matter: the books don’t balance.; The expansion is accelerating.; Stelliferous → degenerate → black-hole → heat death..
