Radiation de-couples from matter at 300,000 yrs.Background microwave energy is released. Universe becomes cold and dark except where gravity attractsuncharged atoms to form protostars fusing hydrogen to helium.Gravity pulls groups of stars together to form galaxies.

Large stars go supernova and fuse the heavier elements
which condense to form new stars and rings of debris which condense into planets

90% of the mass of the universe is missing!
Astronomers can measure the mass of galaxies but the number of stars in them is not enough to account for their rapid rotations.
There are a few theories about where this mass is, including brown dwarf stars neutrinos and super massive black holes!
