Tropical belt expansion, artwork
Tropical belt expansion. Computer artwork of a map of the Earth representing the expansion of the tropical belt (red area) due to climate change

Expanding Sun and the Earth, artwork
Expaning Sun and Earth. Computer artwork of the Sun and Earth. It is estimated that in 5-6 billion years, the Sun will have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core

Dying Earth. Computer artwork of the future Sun heating a scorched Earth. In 5-6 billion years the Sun will have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in its core

Crab nebula (M1). Composite x-ray, infrared and optical image of the Crab nebula, the remnant of a supernova. In the centre of the nebula is the remains of the stars core

Supernova explosion, 3D simulation
Supernova explosion. 3D supercomputer simulation of a supernova expanding 346.7 seconds after ignition. The model represents a supernova measuring around 2.4 million kilometres in diameter

Supernova explosion, computer simulation
Supernova explosion. Computer simulation showing the gas velocities of a 15 solar mass star exploding into a supernova at one second after the start of the explosion

Expanding universe, artwork
Expanding universe. Artwork of galaxies and chains of clusters of galaxies in an expanding universe. Matter formed after the Big Bang

Multiverse, artwork
Multiverse. Conceptual computer artwork of multiple universes (spherical) making up the multiverse, also called the meta-universe or metaverse

Sun over dying Earth, artwork
Sun over dying Earth. Computer artwork of the Sun, around 5 billion years in the future, heating a dying Earth. The oceans have evaporated, leaving salt-encrusted rocks

Multiverse and wormholes, artwork

Embarking on an extraordinary journey of expansion, the universe unveils its captivating timeline through mesmerizing artwork. From the intricate brochure illustration by W Barratt & Co Ltd in Northampton to the thought-provoking oscillating universe theory depicted in stunning visuals, we witness the vastness of cosmic evolution. Delving deeper into this celestial tapestry, we encounter expanding gold bracelet wristwatches from 1929 that symbolize both elegance and progress. Amidst these cosmic wonders, a Pyrenean Woman force-feeding a goose reminds us of humanity's connection with nature and our ability to shape our surroundings. As we explore further into space, the composite image of Supernova remnant IC 443 reveals remnants of stellar explosions scattered across interstellar clouds. The Evolution of the Universe unfolds before our eyes through evocative artwork, showcasing how galaxies have evolved over billions of years since the Big Bang. In this grand narrative, even seemingly mundane objects like an advert for Revelation Luggage or Hardy Bros Advertisement become part of a larger story – illustrating how human ingenuity has expanded alongside the cosmos. As we delve into scientific discoveries, X-ray images like Supernova remnant N132D captivate us with their otherworldly beauty while providing insights into celestial phenomena. The enigmatic origins and early galaxies emerging after the Big Bang remind us that within expansion lies infinite possibilities waiting to be explored. In this ever-expanding universe filled with artistry and marvels beyond imagination, let us embrace curiosity as our guide and embark on an endless voyage towards knowledge.
