Cosmic Zoom

Cosmic zoom is like taking a big, imaginary telescope and zooming in on different parts of space to see them closer. It is like when you have a magnifying glass and you can make small things look much bigger. With cosmic zoom, you can also make really far-away objects seem close enough to see details. For example, when astronomers use cosmic zoom, they can see distant stars, galaxies, and other objects that are really far away.
