Naked Eye Astronomy <\/p>\n

Astronomy developed without telescopes. Ancient astronomers knew that Earth is a sphere. Even without telescopes, they compiled an impressive list of achievements\u2014they measured the position of prominent stars and the distance from Earth to the Moon; they discovered the precession of the equinoxes, a very slight wobble in Earth\u2019s axis of rotation, and developed models of the solar system. <\/p>\n

How Did the Universe Get To Be This Way? <\/p>\n

A supercomputer in Germany took a month to generate three-dimensional simulations of dark matter in the universe. Resulting images included this one. <\/p>\n

How Did Life Begin? <\/p>\n

Meteorites lurk among native rocks on a blue ice moraine in Antarctica. The least contaminated examples of comet and asteroid fragments, these frigid rocks may hold clues about the origins of life on Earth\u2014and beyond. <\/p>\n

Are We Alone in the Universe? <\/p>\n

An image of the surface of Mars taken by NASA\u2019s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows caverns and rivulets suggesting water, and perhaps life long ago, on the red planet. <\/p>\n

How Did It All Begin? <\/p>\n

A massive computer simulation centered on a supercluster of galaxies reveals the filamentary large-scale structure of the universe. <\/p>\n

How Will It All End? <\/p>\n

Nighttime northern lights gently loom over ice cracks in Alberta\u2019s Abraham Lake, evoking the way the universe will end: in ice and darkness. <\/p>\n
