“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.” -Rainer Maria Rilke
Yes, it's true, with 2015 upon us, the new year holds a number of wonderful new things. Not only for us, but for the Universe as well!

Consider all the time that's passed, leading up to today. Consider how far we've come, from the Big Bang until right now, as "one Universe year," and now imagine, looking forward, what the next Universe year (or years) will hold.

Come take a look into our far future, and start off 2015 with a bang!
