 The most widely accepted model
for the beginning of the Universe.
What is the Big Bang Theory?
A hypothetical set of multiple
Universes. Also known as
Parallel Universes.
What is the Multiverse?
13.7 BYA
What is when the Big Bang Occurred?
This is evidence of the Big Bang.
It is everywhere we look in the
sky and has an average
temperature of 2.75 K.
What is the
Cosmic Background Microwave Radiation?
 This gives us evidence that the
Universe is expanding. The farther
away an object is, the faster it is
moving.
What is Hubbles Law?
This tells us a stars temperature.
What is a stars color?
This consists of ALL types of
Radiation, including the visible
spectrum which we can see.
What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?
Astronomers use these to help
determine stars masses.
What are Binary Star Systems?
The three ways we can determine
how far a star is from Earth.
What are: Parallax, Absolute Magnitude
And Red Shift?
 Who was the first person to
measure the distance from Earth
to Mars using Parallax?
Who is Gian Domenico Cassini?
 Even though this radiates red light, it is not hot
enough for fusion to take place.
What is a Protostar?
90% of a stars life is spent here.
What is the Main Sequence?
In this stage the star fuses all the
elements up until Iron.
What is Red Giant or Super Giant Stage?
This depends on a stars mass.
What is type of stellar death?
 This type of star is what is left over
from an original star of 1.5 to 3 solar
masses.
What is a neutron star?
A measure of average kinetic
energy.
What is Temperature?
How bright a star would be if
placed at 32.6 light years from
Earth.
What is Absolute Magnitude?
 On this, as Absolute Magnitude increases, so
does the Temperature.
What is the Hertzsprung-Russel
Diagram?
A rapidly spinning neutron star.
What is a pulsar?
 This is 100,000 light years across and 1,000
light years thick.
What is the Milky Way Galaxy?
This type of explosion happens
when fusion is no longer
possible.
What is a Supernova?
The end of the Universe is
dependent on this.
What is the Density of the Universe?
This does not reflect or emit
visible light or any type of
radiation.
What is Dark Matter?
 If this happens, gravity will no longer be able
to hold the Universe together.
What is the Big Rip?
 Is a repulsive force in the
Universe. Thought to be
increasing the rate of expansion
of the Universe.
What is Dark Energy?
