If the Universe is expanding, where is the centre?
The Universe doesn't have a centre and the Big Bang wasn't an explosion. Go to http://brilliant.org/DrBecky and sign up for free. The first 200 people that go to that link will get 20% off the annual premium subscription.
If you have any other analogies that help to picture what's going on with the expansion of the Universe or what happened in the Big Bang, let me know in the comments below!

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
