Marcia Bartusiak recounts the pivotal early 20th-century discoveries that unveiled the true scale and dynamic nature of our universe. In 1925, Edwin Hubble's finding that the universe was vastly larger than imagined shocked the scientific community. Six years later, Hubble and his peers convinced Albert Einstein that the universe was expanding, not static. Bartusiak explores the brilliant minds, fierce rivalries, and groundbreaking research behind what is considered one of history's most significant scientific revelations.
