1. ASTRONOMY HUBBLE DEEP FIELD TELESCOPE

2. Big Bang – Most widely accepted scientific theory for origin of the universe.  Evidence  1. Red shift/blue shift (Expanding universe is similar trajectory)  2. Cosmic Background  3. Speed of expansion

3. Scientific Theories of Origin  Solar System Formation - Nebular Theory Sun and planets formed from a rotating cloud of interstellar gasses (H and He) and dust condensing by gravitational attraction forming a protosun. Other material formed from icy and rocky material repeatedly colliding forming planetestinals.  Evidence – Radiometric dating of Asteroids.

4. Reason for the Seasons

6. Moon’s origin Moon formation – Asteroid hit the earth and a large chunk of Earth broke off then fell into orbit around Earth. Evidence – similar rock types

8. MOON PHASES – Earthlings do not see the “Dark Side” of the moon because the rotation and revolution is synchronous.
