Question 1
Question
What did Edwin Hubble do?
Answer
-
Identify other galaxies, invented the first telescope and realize that galaxies were moving away from us.
-
invent the telescope and be an astronomer.
-
a famous baker and invented the raisin theory.
-
All of the above.
Question 2
Question
Galaxies are moving away from us.
Question 3
Question
Hubble believed that the universe is [blank_start]expanding[blank_end] in all directions.
Question 4
Question
What is electromagnetic radiation?
Question 5
Question
What does a spectroscope do?
Question 6
Question
A spectroscope measures wave lengths from the stars spectral lines?
Question 7
Question
When Edwin Hubble was studying the universe he saw the spectral lines from the purple side of the spectrum.
Question 8
Question
[blank_start]Red shift[blank_end] is when lights [blank_start]wave lengths[blank_end] become [blank_start]longer[blank_end]. That means that the object is [blank_start]receding[blank_end] away from us. Meaning that distant [blank_start]galaxies[blank_end] are moving [blank_start]away[blank_end] from us. When Edwin Hubble saw this, he discovered that the Universe was [blank_start]expanding[blank_end]. [blank_start]Cosmological Red shift[blank_end] is when lights wavelengths are constantly being lengthened. This is the main theory for how the Universe was born.

Question 9
Question
What is the Big Bang theory?
Answer
-
A show.
-
When space itself began, from a really tiny piece of space suddenly expanded into immense size in a very short time.
-
When all the planets were formed.
-
None of the above.
Question 10
Question
Cosmic background radiation is:
Question 11
Question
COBE stands for: Cosmic Background Explorer.
Question 12
Question
One of the strongest pieces of evidence to support the big bang theory is [blank_start]Cosmic Background Explorer[blank_end]. A team of Scientists moped the universe by using a satellite they sent up into space. they mapped the [blank_start]background radiation[blank_end]. Red areas indicate hotter places. Blue areas indicate places that have had time to cool.
Question 13
Question
Wilkinson Microwave Antistropy Probe was sent up into space to make better predictions then the COBE.
Question 14
Question
Galaxies are clouds made out of dust and gas.
Question 15
Question
There are three types of galaxies: [blank_start]Spiral[blank_end], [blank_start]Elliptical[blank_end] and [blank_start]Irregular[blank_end]. Spiral Galxies are shaped like a pin wheel from above and from the side it looks like a plate with an orange in it. it contains mostly [blank_start]new[blank_end] [blank_start]stars[blank_end].
Answer
-
Spiral
-
Elliptical
-
Irregular
-
new
-
stars
