Paul Hudson TITLE: "In the Beginning Nothing Became Everything," acrylic In his painting, the artist depicts the birth of the universe, the Big Bang. Energy and extremely hot matter was hurled outward in all directions. As the universe expanded, gravity caused the first stars and galaxies to form. Billions of years later a middle-size star was formed. That star is our sun, born with a family of nine planets. One of those planets is the Earth. NASA's space science program is one the verge of a new era: Great Observatories in Space. Large and very powerful orbiting observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope depicted by Artist Paul Hudson above the Earth will expand our knowledge of observable space almost to the edge of the universe and the beginning of time.
