the big bang + how the univerce began Flashcards
what is in our universe
our univerce is a vast area that contains galaxies stars and solar systems
what is expanding univerce
all objects in the univerce are moving away from eachother
what is hubbles law
galaxies are moving away from eachother the further away a galaxy is the faster its moving away from us
whats a singularity
a zone that is very small very dence and very hot it was so hot that normal particals could not exists
what happened in the big bang
whithin a single moment singularity expanded rapidly this is what we call the big bang
what happened after the big bang
as the universe continued to expand it began to cool these cooler temperatues allowed particals to exists and light to travel through the universe

why is the hubble telescope so important
when we look into space we are looking through telescopes that are located on earth these images are distorted by earths armosphere but the hubble telescope is out in space so earths atmosphere does not affect the images we see
