The steady state theory of the universe is that the universe was always there and always will be there. microwave radiation helped show that the universe was formed a certain way and was not always around. Cosmic radiation in the universe is like an echo that the telescope COBE was able to piece together to see what the early universe looked like. WMAP and CBI were created later to get a clearer picture. We found out that iron wasn't around before the big bang and we still aren't sure where it came from.

Hubble Deep Fields

HDF is called the Hubble Deep Fields, which are the far away galaxies. We are trying to explore these galaxies with all our new technology. The North and South Hubble Deep Fields are about the same, they have about the same amount of planets. It is also proved that the universe is close to the same size in every direction.

Aliens

I think it would be sweet if there were other life forms out there!!! WE could communicate and maybe they could help us clean up our earth so we don't kill it and us together!!! It may be possible to find life out there, considering we can't and haven't gone to any other galaxies. I think if there is a way to get to another galaxy faster then we may be able to find life out there. But..if they have the same intelligence as us then they would have been able to find us already. SO i think we should create some type of thing to get us to another galaxy to see what we can find. We may be able to communicate with other life forms..which would be cool.

Big Bang

The Big Bang Theory is a theory that the universe was a small particle that exploded and made the universe. We have been studying the universe for many years and have used different tools to help us. Microwave radiation helped up figure out the steady rate theory by sending waves that interfered with telephone calls. COBE was the first study of microwaves across the universe. WMAP is a thing that shoots off into space so we can study it further and CBI is a big tin can that sits on top of a mountain that we also use to study space. While using WMAP we found out that it traveled all the way past Jupiter. We found out that humans are actually possibly made of stardust. crazy. In conclusion...im not sure if i should believe the big band theory or not.

Stellar Evolution

A.) No, as it cools it becomes a black dwarf.
B.) It's life cycle is almost over..which means it is almost dead.
C.) No it cannot
D.) They are the nearest to the sun, most common type of star in the galaxy, and are strong X-ray sources.
E.) They all go through a cycle.

1. The event horizen is the middle of the hole. once ur there, you're stuck. the accelleration to get away from one has to be faster than the speed of light.
2. The escape velocity has to do with the size of the object and its mass, if the object is small and has a lot of mass, you will need nore velocity to escape it. that also describes a black hole. the speed of light is not enough to escape it.
3. The escape velocity must be very high if the size of the black hole is small with a very high mass. light gets bent if it passes to close to a black hole.
4. Stellar black holes are created by dying stars super massive black holes are in the middle of a galaxy.
5. They thought black holes were invisible stars.
6. Uses the stis to use infrared visible and near ultrviolet light.
7. The volume of a black hole is huge-false
black holes will eventually destroy the universe-false

Rest of my life...

I want to major in psychology... I want to be a therapist for teens.
I think that i can help them in a variety of ways...and i would be really good at it.
I am a really good listener, even though sometimes i have selective hearing..haha
I believe that this would be a great job for me...and i would really enjoy it.
I want to go to the University of Texas in Austin.
