The Universe Solar Nebular Theory A. B. C. D. E. Nebula Main sequence – accretion disk formed Collision of particles formed clumps Clumps formed asteroids Asteroids became planets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL3YNQK 960Y (3:05 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW9FJ b1HkDU (2:04 min) Solar Nebulae Theory (1) a nebulae rotates and collapses to form a solar system (2) instabilities cause dust particles to stick together (planetesimals) (3) these particles collide and form protoplanets (4) the center of the disk becomes so massive and hot it “turns on” (i.e., Sun) (5) the Sun radiates energy that vaporizes dust in the inner Solar System. What’s Our Address? Our Solar System 201 S. Hanover St. Hummelstown Pennsylvania United States of America North American Continent Northern Hemisphere 3rd planet from the Sun Solar System 2/3rd the way out on the arm of a galaxy Milky Way Galaxy Local Group of Galaxies Local Super Cluster of Galaxies http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es2808/e s2808page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization The study of the origin, structure and future of the universe Astronomers use galaxies far away to hypothesize how they form and move. Cosmology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4BHA1hHjDc&feature=related Hubble’s Law http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVApTLE7Csc Edwin Hubble: Measured Red shifts of other galaxies and found: Almost all other galaxies are moving away from us. The further away the galaxy , the faster the galaxy is moving away from us. Hubble’s Law: The speed at which galaxies are moving away from the Earth is proportional to their distance from us. Farther away = moving faster away (DIRECT RELATIONSHIP) Formation of Universe Hubble’s observations showed that the Universe is EXPANDING. This finding lead to a new theory on formation of Universe. Big Bang Theory The theory that states the Universe began with a tremendous explosion. 13.7 billion years ago, all matter was compressed into one spot and expanded rapidly. They are still expanding today. Evidence for the Big Bang Theory: Red Shift of Galaxies. Edwin Hubble first saw the Red shift of galaxies. Red shift = Galaxies moving AWAY Red shift = Universe Expanding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1UC6HpxY28 Evidence for Big Bang Theory Background Radiation A faint background hiss of radio waves almost exactly the same in all direction is not coming from any one star, galaxy, or other object. It is the perfect wavelength to have been created 13.7 billion years ago in a large explosion (Big Bang). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZaI2Xp_eT8 (1.5 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mZQ-5-KYHw (4 min) Future of Universe? Future will depend upon amount of MATTER in the Universe. Not enough Matter: Open Universe Continue expanding until it runs out of energy. Enough Matter: Closed Universe Expand until the gravitational force causes it to collapse and repeat the cycle. Looking for Dark Matter to support this theory. They have evidence of it but can’t detect it. Deep Space http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgg2tpUVbX Q&feature=channel (6:14) Best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAVjF_7ensg (Good) (4:16)
