Recombination
is the process by which
elements are created from
simpler nuclei, typically through
nuclear reactions
Nucleosynthesis

__________________.
Deuterium
It was found out that the
light of galaxies is found to be
redshifted which suggest that galaxies are moving away from each other.

It was left because of recombination. Atoms became neutral due to the binding of nuclei and electrons.
