Universe kbTop The total celestial cosmos. According to Gott et al. the universe seems to be on a large scale isotropic, homogeneous, matter-dominated, and with negligible pressure. The total proper mass content of about 10²³ M_sun (Sandage derives 10⁵⁶ g from his determination of the deceleration parameter q₀) and radius of about 2 × 10²⁸ cm are the order of magnitude that most cosmologists would accept if the universe is bounded. Total mass contributed by luminous matter, about 3 × 10⁵³ g (see mass discrepancy). Age about 18 × 10⁹ yr for a Hubble constant H₀ = 55 km s^-1 Mpc^-1. celestial body
