This animation shows a string of other potential universes. When two touch together, they cause a spark, possibly creating another universe. 10137 Brane Theory of Multiple Dimensions
This animation flies through a series of galaxy clusters. 10135 Dark Energy Expands the Universe
This animation zooms into a standard helium atom, showing its protons (green), its neutrons (white), and its electrons (blue). 10133 The Helium Atom
This still image shows the timeline running from the Big Bang on the right, towards the present on the left. In the middle is the Reionization Period, when the initial bubbles caused the Cosmic Dawn. 10131 The Cosmic Dawn (Still Image w/o Titles)
This still image shows the timeline running from the Big Bang on the right, towards the present on the left. In the middle is the Reionization Period where the initial bubbles caused the cosmic dawn. 10130 The Cosmic Dawn (Still Image with Titles)
This animation shows in a cube what the early universe was like - very dense until bubbles formed creating pockets that gave birth to the first stars and galaxies. 10129 The Dark Ages
This animation begins with a pinpoint of light as the Big Bang, and continues to show the formation of the first stars and galaxies. 10128 The Big Bang
This animation begins with a zoom into the WMAP data. We then see the formation of the first stars and galaxies. The images zooms out to reveal the relative locations of the WMAP data and from where the satellite is observing. 10123 WMAP's Portrait of the Early Universe
This animation shows the WMAP spacecraft spinning, then reveals the data that it collected. 10122 WMAP Hard at Work
WMAP spins like a top to capture light from every part of the sky. 10121 The WMAP Spacecraft
