Hubble’s law states the further away stars and galaxies were‚ the faster they were going.Thefact that most galaxies are moving away suggests that the universe is expanding. 6.Explain the big bang theory. 14 billion years ago‚ the universe exploded from a singularity containing a lot of concentratedenergy. The energy converted into

5 What is crowdsourcing? How does the site Galaxy Zoo manage crowdsourcing? Crowdsourcing is the process of obtaining needed services‚ ideas‚ or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people‚ and especially from an online community‚ rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. While this definition from Merriam Webster is valid‚ a more specific definition is heavily debated. The process of crowdsourcing is often used to subdivide tedious work and has occurred successfully

into believing who actually created life and how it happened. In this episode of Standing Up In The Milky Way‚ it thought me a lot of how science may have created life. For Example‚ Neil introduced the Cosmic address (Earth‚ Solar System‚ Milky Way Galaxy‚ Local Group‚ Virgo Super cluster‚ Observable Universe) which dates back to the Big Bang. “Human eyes see only a sliver of the light that shines on the cosmos‚ but science gives us the power to see what our senses cannot.” Neil uses this quote often

It was simply a cloud a gas. Hawking discusses how he is astonished at the fact everything‚ such as galaxies and other cosmic matter‚ came from this cloud of gas. And it all had to be built atom-by-atom. The amount of atoms involved in this process is unthinkable. Hawking believes that the all this happened because of gravity. After the Big Bang‚ the gas

Sabrina Suazo Honors BIO 1 Dr.Barrios 9/19/13 “Why Science is Important” Many people in present time believe that science is something that is not necessary to learn. I believe that science is something that everyone should know of. Science is everywhere and used for many important things. I think this way because first‚ science is used for medical reasons. Next‚ without science no one would know where humans came from. Lastly‚ science provides many answers about the universe we live in

caused this point to become the universe we know today? The “big bang” theory is the popular explanation for where the galaxies‚ stars and planets came from. At the moment of the big bang‚ the hot‚ compact point began expanding like a balloon‚ rather than an actual explosion like most people believe. As the point of matter expanded‚ it cooled‚ contracted and formed stars and galaxies‚ like our solar system and the Milky Way. This suggests that big bang explains the expansion of space itself‚ which in

Physics & Theory • SETI o The Allen Telescope Array - The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is a LNSD‚ also known as a “Large number of small dishes” array and is a new piece of technology to radio astronomy. What is different about it is that it is not one big dish‚ but a series of smaller dishes combined to make one larger one. - The ATA is highly effective and much cheaper for SETI to conduct more than one survey at once in the search of extra-terrestrials. - The ATA detects radio waves that can be

Black Holes and Their Mysteries Black holes are one of the most popular Hollywood science fiction topics also one of the most mysterious entities in space. Astronomers still have many questions regarding the darkest entity in space‚ black holes‚ but over time they began to analyze more and more clues and data‚ and are now able to explain what a black hole really is. Astronomers have come up with theories of the formations of black holes‚ the component of black holes as well as many other
