We are Born Within a Bubble of Stars - Livestream

The Universe is big - bigger than we can often comprehend - but it has fascinating details on every scale. From the extremely large, galaxies, stars and planets, to the incredibly small, with intricate structure inside every atom. But where did it all come from? Find out how astronomy can start to answer some of the biggest questions, how the Universe evolved from the Big Bang to the galaxies, stars and planets we see today, and how this picture fits with the recent discoveries about the history of our stellar neighborhood: a 1,000 light year wide “bubble of stars” in which we live.
