The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplation of the Cosmos stirs us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.

Introduction
In physical cosmology, the cosmos is the universe. It is usually defined as the totality of everything that exists, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. The term cosmos originates from the Greek word κόσμος (kosmos), which means “order” or “ornament”.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory is the most widely accepted theory of the cosmos. It states that the universe began about 14 billion years ago in an enormously dense and hot state, and has been expanding and cooling ever since. According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe is still expanding today.
The Structure of the Universe
Most of us think of the cosmos as theStars and planets that we see in the night sky. But modern astronomy has revealed that what we can see with our unaided eyes is just a tiny, tiny fraction of all there is. The rest is invisible to us because it is either too faint or emitted at wavelengths our eyes cannot detect.
The stars and planets we can see are just a small part of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. (The exact number is unknown, because we cannot see beyond a certain distance.)
The structure of the universe on the largest scales is still a mystery to astronomers. But they have identified three main types of matter: normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy.
Normal matter consists of the atoms that make up stars, planets, and everything else we can see directly. It includes both visible and invisible gas and dust.
Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that does not emit or absorb light but interacts with normal matter through gravity. It makes up most of the mass in galaxies, including our own Milky Way.
Dark energy is an invisible form of energy that permeates all of space and exerts a negative pressure, causing an acceleration in the expansion of the universe.
The Components of the Universe
The universe is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. While the spatial size of the entire universe is unknown, it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is currently estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter. In various multiverse hypotheses, a universe is one of many causally disconnected constituent parts of a larger multiverse, which itself comprises all of space and time and its contents.
The Origin of Life
In the beginning, there was only the Void. The infinite and eternal Abyss from which all things would eventually emerge. For an age, the Void existed in a state of potentiality, until finally it gave birth to Chaos.
Chaos was the first of the primordial gods and goddesses, and from Chaos came forth the other primordials: Gaia, Tartarus, Erebus, Nyx, and Uranus. These six beings were the first things to exist in the universe, and they would go on to give birth to almost everything else that exists.
Gaia is the personification of the earth, and it was she who gave birth to the Titans: Cronus, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, Hyperion, Oceanus, Phoebe, Rhea, Tethys, Theia, and Themis. These twelve beings were among the most powerful creatures in existence, second only to the primordials themselves.
Cronus was the leader of the Titans, and he overthrew his father Uranus with the help of his brothers and sisters. He then became the ruler of all creation. However, Cronus was a cruel ruler who suppressed his people and devoured his own children out of fear that they would one day overthrow him as he had overthrown Uranus.
Eventually, one of Cronus’ children – Zeus – would lead a rebellion against him with the help of his siblings (Poseidon and Hades). Zeus defeated Cronus and banished him to Tartarus along with most of the other Titans. Zeus then became the new ruler of all creation.
The Cosmos is thus Named for its creator Uranus ,the first great grandparent .And so it has been since time immemorial
The Future of the Universe
In the grand scheme of things, the future of the universe is shrouded in mystery. But there are some things we do know for sure. For example, we know that eventually, stars will run out of fuel and die. We also know that galaxies will collide and merge. And we know that the universe itself will eventually stop expanding and start contracting until it eventually collapses in on itself in a big crunch.
But beyond that, things get pretty fuzzy. We don’t really know what will happen to black holes, or what dark energy is doing to the expansion of the universe. Will the universe end with a whimper or a bang? We just don’t know.
But that doesn’t mean we’re not trying to find out. Scientists have devoted their lives to understanding the cosmos, and we’ve made some pretty incredible progress in recent years. Who knows what answers we’ll have in the future?
