    with modern science. Out of many signs‚ I will mention some of which are established facts. Majority of us are aware of the term the big bang theory. 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

    system‚ sent the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990 to orbit Earth and take photographs of its atmosphere. The photos taken by Hubble “revolutionized ideas about the universe‚ contributing to the discovery of dark energy‚ a force that caused the universe to expand at an ever-increasing rate‚ and the discovery and characterization of planets outside the solar system” (Flynn). For centuries‚ humans have had limited knowledge about space and the planets that occupy it‚ however‚ The Hubble Space Telescope

    galaxies moving further away from our Milky Way galaxy. Hubble’s constant is how fast the galaxies move away from one another with time. Current evidence suggests that the galaxies move at about 73 kilometers per second per megaparsec. Back when Edwin Hubble originally created the law‚ he thought that the expansion rate was much larger due to him underestimating the distances between the galaxies. Scientists tend to disagree about how fast the galaxies move away from one another because they will disagree

    Q1. Outline the historical development of the models of the universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton. Aristotle: Geocentric model of the universe involved a series of 56 concentric spheres to which celestial objects were attached. The Earth was not in motion as the stars showed no measureable parallax. Each planet‚ the Sun‚ and the Moon were in their own sphere and the stars were positioned on a larger sphere surrounding all the others. Ptolemy: Geocentric model of the universe

    • 2 Pages

    The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the early development of the universe.[1] The key idea is that the universe is expanding. Consequently‚ the universe was denser and hotter in the past. Moreover‚ the Big Bang model suggests that at some moment all matter in the universe was contained in a single point‚ which is considered the beginning of the universe. Modern measurements place this moment at approximately 13.8 billion years ago‚ which is thus considered the age of the
