Key Ideas Explain how Hubble’s discoveries lead to an understanding that the universe is expanding. Summarize the big bang theory. List evidence for the big bang theory.

Hubble’s Observations cosmology the study of the origin, properties, processes, and evolution of the universe Cosmologists and astronomers can use the light given off by an entire galaxy to create the spectrum for that galaxy. Edwin Hubble used galactic spectra to uncover new information about our universe.

Hubble’s Observations, continued Measuring Red Shifts Hubble found that the spectra of galaxies, except for the few closest to Earth, were shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. Hubble determined the speed at which the galaxies were moving away from Earth. Hubble found that the most distant galaxies showed the greatest red shift and thus were moving away from Earth the fastest.

Hubble’s Observations, continued The Expanding Universe Using Hubble’s observations, astronomers have been able to determine that the universe is expanding. The expanding universe can be thought of as a raisin cake rising in the oven. If you were able to sit on one raisin, you would see all the other raisins moving away from you. Similarly, galaxies in the universe are moving farther away from each other due to the expansion of the universe.

A Theory Emerges Although cosmologists have proposed several different theories to explain the expansion of the universe, the current and most widely accepted is the big bang theory. big bang theory the theory that all matter and energy in the universe was compressed into an extremely small volume that 3 to 15 billion years ago exploded and began expanding in all directions By the mid-20th century, almost all astronomers and cosmologists accepted the big bang theory.

A Theory Emerges, continued Reading Check What does the big bang theory tell us about the early universe? All matter and energy in the early universe were compressed into a small volume at an extremely high temperature until the temperature cooled and all of the matter and energy were forced outward in all directions.

A Theory Emerges, continued Cosmic Background Radiation cosmic background radiation radiation uniformly detected from every direction in space; considered a remnant of the big bang Astronomers believe that cosmic background radiation formed shortly after the big bang. The background radiation has cooled after the big bang, and is now about 270 °C below zero.

A Theory Emerges, continued Ripples in Space Maps of cosmic background radiation over the whole sky look very smooth. But on satellite maps that show where temperatures differ from the average background temperature, “ripples” become apparent. These ripples are irregularities caused by small fluctuations in the distribution of matter in the early universe. The ripples are thought to indicate the first stages in the formation of the universe’s first galaxies.

A Universe of Surprises Dark Matter Analysis of the ripples in the cosmic background radiation suggests that the matter that humans, the planets, the stars and the matter between the stars makes up only 4% of the universe. About 23% of the universe is made up of a type of matter that does not give off light but that has gravity. This type of matter is called dark matter.

A Universe of Surprises, continued Dark Energy Most of the universe is made up of an unknown material called dark energy. Scientists think that dark energy acts as a force that opposes gravity. Many scientists think that some form of undetectable dark energy is pushing galaxies apart. Because of dark energy, the universe is not only expanding, but the rate of expansion also seems to be accelerating.
