Mind-blowing NASA facts about the Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory explains how the universe started as a tiny, hot, and dense point around 13.8 billion years ago.

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the universe is expanding 5 percent to 9 percent faster than expected.

Although astronomers cannot directly witness the universe's formation, much of what we know about the Big Bang Theory comes from advanced mathematical models and simulations.

Astronomers have discovered the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), which comes from all directions in space. It’s a faint glow left over from the Big Bang.

The temperature of the CMBR is about -270°C. This radiation is the remains of the thermal energy from the Big Bang.

The universe is still expanding, with galaxies moving away from each other.

Scientists continue to study the Big Bang Theory through advanced mathematical models and simulations, as well as observations of cosmic phenomena.

Ongoing research is helping us understand the origins and evolution of the universe.
