The PEDIGREE of
Radiation Era / Recombination Epoch

 
     (initial temp 3000 K); (cooling sufficient to produce hydrogen atoms and molecules; the de-ionized universe is transparent to radiation, so the Wmap microwave-images showing earliest universe actually show 380 kyear after Big Bang)

     Born:  380,000    Died:  300 Million     (dates shown relative to Big Bang)

 "Child(ren)":       Stelliferous Age / Reionization Epoch
