Out of the major galaxies‚ the Andromeda Galaxy is located nearest to our Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy is two million light years away from us‚ but it can be seen with the naked eye because it is very bright. In this galaxy there are over a hundred billion stars. It is known to be the brightest galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and is part of the Local Group. It has a large star cluster in its heart and a very large hidden black hole deep in the core. The middle is very bright

Soon after Lemaitre created the Big Bang theory‚ he published a paper introducing it. Mark Egdall claims that “Two years later‚ Edwin Hubble— who‚ like most scientists‚ had not read Lemaître’s paper — came up with the same redshift/distance relationship using nearly the same data” (Egdall 1). This proves as evidence because it demonstrates that two people were able to find the same

galaxies? Well‚ the closest one to the Milky Way‚ our galaxy‚ is a bigger sisterly one named Andromeda. Scientists predict that the two galaxies will once collide and then won’t be known as a Spiral galaxy‚ but an Elliptical galaxy. Discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1936‚ was the first Elliptical galaxy. Elliptical galaxies are one million light years across in diameter and have more than three trillion stars. As all galaxies‚ they are held together by gravity. If Earth was in an Elliptical galaxy‚ it would

Do you ever notice how sometimes when you are sitting in the car and hear the ambulance it seems to take forever for it to come around you? Or how about times when you yell “HEY YOU” or “MOM” in a grocery store standing in the middle of the aisle people from all directions can hear you….and some even answer?

“Equipped with his five senses‚ man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science‚” According to Edwin Powell Hubble. Science has been expanding and more advanced with today’s technology. Scientific advancements are also making good and bad effects and not everyone agrees with all of them. Cloning is one of the scientific advancements that is expanding and it happens for many different reasons and it has many different effects on society. When scientist clone a certain animal

How the universe came into existence. “The origin of the Big Bang theory can be credited to Edwin Hubble. Hubble made the observation that the universe is continuously expanding. He discovered that a galaxy’s velocity is proportional to its distance. Galaxies that are twice as far from us move twice as fast. Another consequence is that the universe is
