Description:

"Galaxies: Glitter in a Snow Globe"

We find many answers about the early universe in a surprising place: the arrangement of galaxies in the night sky. But in order to take a peek, we need to know how the universe evolved from then to now. Our current best model? Galaxies are motes of light floating in a perfect liquid.
