Did you know? Edwin Hubble proved in 1929 that the universe is expanding: the farther a galaxy, the faster it moves away from us. This led to the Big Bang theory. Today we know the expansion is even accelerating — driven by "dark energy".

Edwin Hubble bewees in 1929 dat het universum uitdijt: hoe verder een sterrenstelsel, hoe sneller het zich van ons afbeweegt. Dit leidde tot de Big Bang-theorie. Vandaag weten we dat de uitdijing zelfs versnelt — door "dark energy".
