From the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang to the remote future of the cosmos, the story of our universe is one of expansion, structure formation, and ultimate destiny. Understanding this narrative is not merely an academic exercise—it anchors our place in the universe and informs how we interpret the most profound observations in astronomy. Whether you are a science educator, a researcher in a related field, or an enthusiast who follows discoveries like those from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), this course offers a structured, evidence-based journey through cosmology's core timeline and its open questions.
