Modern telescopes are revealing an incredible, active universe. Stars continue to form within colorful nebulae they energize. Black holes lurk in the centers of nearly all galaxies. And mysterious dark matter and dark energy play “tug of war” on the ever-expanding fabric of space. Where does life and purpose fit in this incredible cosmic drama?
