discovered in the California laboratory in 1929‚ is the red shift. The concept of red shift is that if the source of light is moving away from the earth the color of the light is red due to the wavelength. The red shift supports the idea that the galaxies are moving away from us. It also suggests that the universe is indeed expanding. Meanwhile the second evidence that supports Big Bang theory is the radio waves that were heard by the two scientists in 1969 in New Jersey. The sound that the two scientists

occur? Space and time were created in the Big Bang. At the beginning of the universe‚ the space was completely filled with matter. The matter was originally very hot and very dense and then expanded and cooled to eventually produce the stars and galaxies we see in the universe today. 6. What evidence supports the Big Bang Theory? The Big Bang is the leading theory that almost all astrophysicists believe explains the origin of the universe. This is because all observations so far made support

universe? To start off‚ I define the universe as all matter and energy that exists. Our cosmic address in the universe begins at our galaxy in the local group‚ which is an island of stars in space held together by gravity and all orbiting a common center. Besides our galaxy there are about 40 other galaxies in our own local group. Our galaxy‚ The Milky Way galaxy then goes on to our solar system. Within the solar system there are 100 billion stars‚ the biggest being the sun. The star is a large

Edwin Hubble In this adventure they look will be taken at Edwin Hubble. This look will be into three major areas of his life. His personal life how he grew up‚ whether he married and had children. Also‚ an investigation will be taken to look into his background specifically how he got started in the field of astronomy. Finally‚ there will be a look into what contributions he has made to the field of astronomy. Edwin Hubble would forever change the way astronomy was understood. He would also be a

Cosmic microwave background discovered by accident in 1964 or 65. 3. Relative abundance of hydrogen‚ helium. lithium and boron as measured in other galaxies and even our Sun and other nearby stars is as predicted from theoretical studies based on hydrogen bomb research. 2.

And the red supergiants are one of the most known giant stars in the galaxy. The massive star is a stage before the red supergiant.The way a massive star is formed is by fusing material into more heavier elements.The

Movie review Nova Origins: Where are the Aliens? Aaron C. Micheal Introduction to Astronomy‚ PHSY 101 (sec.001) (Abstract) This was a film about if there were life form such as aliens‚ somewhere else in our world that are living organisms just like we have here on earth and if so where could they be found. What things should we search for out into the stars to find other sign of life‚ this film goes into detail and try to answer all of these

The curiosity humans have in our origin and worth has led to a remarkable search for answers to big questions about history starting from the very beginning. Big history cosmology looks to answer some of the biggest questions humans have about the universe. In this paper‚ big history will be explored through the formation of the current U.S. one cent coin or more commonly referred to as a penny. The big bang theory is a scientific origin story‚ based on real evidence which explores history in thresholds

Sagittarius A*: the center of our home By Martha Mendoza Professor Norman Sperling Introduction to Astronomy FPF 2012 November 5‚ 2012 Sagittarius A*: The center of our home The big dates were February 13 and 15 of the year 1974‚ when Bruce Balick and Robert Brown worked with the baseline interferometer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and discovered a radio source coming from the center of the Milky Way. They named the source Sagittarius A* (Sagittarius A star) but they
