5 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Post Cards From The Universe

6 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Good Morning, Sunshine! All light shines with a certain amount of energy. Lower energy light includes: Radio waves Microwaves Infrared Higher energy light includes: Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma rays Less energy = Red More energy = Blue Our eyes detect only visible light

7 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Elementary My Dear Einstein Hydrogen Every element has a characteristic “fingerprint” in the form of a “spectrum” “one line, two line, red line, blue line”

8 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory In a Galaxy, Far, Far, Away A galaxy: Billions of stars Light from the galaxy: Lots of hydrogen European Southern Observatory “one line, two line, red line, blue line”

13 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe There’s No Place Like Home A view of the universe, circa 1905 Composition: Stars, stars, and more stars Arrangement: A disc with our solar system near the center Age: Eternal

14 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Cornelius Easton A Nebulous Question The Milky Way Star System, 1900

15 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Palomar Observatory, P.Challis (CfA) The Universe of 2005

16 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe S. Beckwith & the HUDF Working Group (STScI), HST, ESA, NASA How Far Are the Stars and Galaxies?

18 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Einstein won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of The Photoelectric Effect Electric = Charged particles A Nobel Idea Photo + Electric = Light + Atoms The interaction of light and matter Photo = Light

19 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Hubble, Hubble, Toil and Trouble Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way was not the whole Universe. He showed we live in a universe of galaxies, each equivalent to the Milky Way. And most surprisingly of all… Galaxies in the universe are moving away from us!

20 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Messages from Space The Sun: Absorption (Dark Line) Spectrum Orion Nebula: Emission (Bright Line) Spectrum Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

21 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Pattern-ity Test Low energy (long wavelength) High energy (short wavelength)

22 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Preserving the Static Quo Introduced to maintain a static, unchanging universe. There was NO evidence to support it! Einstein’s cosmological constant

23 http://www.universeforum.org/einstein/ Journey Through the Expanding Universe Return of the Cosmological Constant With the discovery of Dark Energy at the end of the 20th Century, Einstein’s “biggest blunder” was back on the table. The universe is not just expanding, it’s also accelerating!
