The Cosmic Origins (COR) Program seeks to answer the question: "How did we get here?"
Discovering more about our universe's origins is one of the key goals of NASA's Astrophysics Division. The COR program's topic areas include galactic and stellar evolution, dark matter, and the origins and effects of supermassive black holes.
