Redshift

Marie von Ebner Eschenbach once said, “In youth we learn; in age we understand.” I agree with this quote. During youth we learn and experience a lot of our “firsts.” Our first word, first steps, first bully, first fight, first kiss, first relationship, first love and first time. Thus, when we get older we evolve and understand more of what life is and what is expected of you. Though I am merely fifteen years old and haven’t graduated high school yet, I’ve matured and have learned from my…

The Universe appeared in a defining moment of the past of all the matter and energy existing at present; It is an event postulated by the generally accepted cosmological theory. Astronomers are mostly convinced that the Universe arose at a definite instant, between 12,000 and 20,000 million years before the present moment. If it had a beginning or creation, would it be logical to think Which must be the work of an initiator or a creator? So many believe. Smoot said, "It 's like seeing God."…

In 1929, Edwin Hubble published his report and state that the red shift in light coming from distant galaxies, is proportional to their distance which is effectively supporting Lemaitre hypothesis of an expanding universe.  Sharing finding stages In 1927, Lemaitre wrote a report which called A homogenous universe of constant mass and growing radius accounting for the radial velocity of extragalactic nebulae. This report was puplished in the little known journal Annales de la Societe…

For 13 years, the scientists of LIGO—the most ambitious, and expensive, project in the history of the National Science Foundation—had been waiting. LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, has been twenty-five years and more than half a billion dollars in the making. It involves 900 scientists and engineers, including many whose entire careers have been spent designing, building, and preparing to analyze data streaming in to LIGO. Their goal: To confirm, once and for all,…

Space is a huge sea of unknown. We are simply specks of dust, trying to figure out the behaviors of giants. Thus it is apparent that the specks can not know much. For now. One of the biggest mysteries is the expansion of the universe; in the 1990s, we knew that theoretically, our ever-expanding universe was slowing down due to gravity, and that it would eventually collapse or keep expanding, just slower as time went on. However, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that to be dead…

Eliza Revell Big Bang Theory Task-Science 2015 10CH For a very long time the Big Bang theory has been one of the most talked about topics in science. Most astronomers believe that the universe began with a ' Big Bang ' They believed that it happened about 14 billion years ago. At that point in time, astronomers think that the universe was inside a dense kind of 'bubble' that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. They think it was…

In 1990,the Hubble Telescope,named in honor of astronomer Edwin Hubble,was launched into orbit around Earth. The telescope was packed with instruments that would give astronomers clear views of the universe in visible,infrared and ultraviolet light. Since the Hubble’s launch in 1990,it has provided a dazzling array images that have awed and inspired the public.More than 45 terabytes have been collected. The 45 and more terabytes that have been collected,provides lights into the…

The thick wafts of steam drifting on the lake parted suddenly as the Cavaceccis swam excitedly towards Surina and woke her up from her reverie by tugging on her shoulder. “Hi Surina, fancy meeting you here!” Giuseppe exclaimed. “This thermal lake is the best!” Linda added while bobbing up and down in the lake. “Ever since I began swimming here for the past three days, my back feels more limber after the pain went away! We have many blessings on Gnaritus, such as a charming house in the…

Multi-Emmy award winning hit comedy show The Big Bang Theory is now in its ninth season. The show follows the lives of four scientific genius friends and their relationship with each other and their girlfriends. The Big Bang Theory is a witty comedy that has evolved from four nerdy highly intellectual friends; to a strong group of friends that have grown and evolved. The show has a wide range of loyal watchers and it seems they can all enjoy the quick wit humor it offers. In fact, The Big Bang…

In the beginning of this article from Sciencenews it is talking about the two cosmic magnifying glasses that are letting astronomers see a peek of a few faint galaxies that could have occurred as far back as 600 million years before the Big Bang. These tiny galaxies could have possibly played a large part in cosmic reionization. Rachel Livermore an astronomer at the University of Texas at Austin says “That when they detected galaxies as faint they did it supports the idea that a lot of little…
