Cosmologists call the first couple of hundred million years of the universe’s history the Dark Ages. This is the period until the first stars formed. The Cosmic Dawn is the name given to the epoch during

Based on observed gravitational interactions in galactic halos (galaxy rotation curves) and in group and clusters, there appears to be 5 times as much dark matter as ordinary matter in the universe. The

Dark Energy is the dominant constituent of the universe, accounting for 2/3 of the mass-energy balance at present. At least that is the canonical concordance cosmology, known as the ΛCDM or Lambda – Cold
