- Summary:
- In the last few years, astronomers and particle physicists have found new ways to probe the cosmos and are creating detailed maps that stretch almost all the way to the birth of time - 13.6 billion years ago. Using an innovative graphic that reveals the scale and wonder of the universe, Horizon travels from east to west, in to the setting sun and the wheeling cosmos, and all the way to the edge of existence, unlocking some surprising stories. Are there parallel universes beyond our own? Does our universe have an edge? There is evidence to suggest that the universe next door is already knocking.
