Where Did the Big Bang Occur? | Space Questions - The Nine Planets
Key to the idea of the Big Bang is an understanding that the universe is gradually expanding. In 1912 observations by Vesto M. Slipher indicated redshifting of the light from remote galaxies. This led to the theory that the galaxies may be receding from the earth or basically moving further away. A decade later using Einstein’s field ...

Where is the Center of the Universe? | Space Questions - The Nine Planets
Well the Big Bang is a theoretical event that exists in physics which describes a possible version of our universe expanding from an initial state of high density and temperature. The work of mathematicians and astronomers has combined for decades in trying to prove or disprove this theory based on our observable universe. The Outward Expansion ...

The Big Bang Theory - The Nine Planets
The naming of the Big Bang theory happened randomly during a radio broadcast in 1949 when astronomer Fred Hoyle, creator of the Steady State theory, referred to Lemaitre’s theory as the “big bang idea.”. Though we have an understanding of how the Universe began, we don’t know its exact shape.

Galaxy vs Universe: What’s the Difference? - The Nine Planets
The Big Bang Process It Starts with Cosmic Inflation. The theory suggests that at one point all the matter in the universe was held together in an area of infinite density and temperature. This was prior to the Big Bang which in truth was more of an inflation outwards. Around 13.8 billion years ago it is thought that the universe began to ...

The Universe | Facts, Information, History & Definition - The Nine Planets
The Big Bang theory states that the early universe was a hot place that expanded, and began to cool down. This means that the universe should be filled with radiation which is actually the relic/leftovers of the Big Bang event. And this was actually discovered! In fact, background radiation is everywhere.

Type Of Galaxies | Facts, Information, History & Definition
Modern cosmological models of the early universe are based on the Big Bang theory. Around 300.000 years after the Big Bag, it is theorized that atoms of hydrogen and helium began to form. This event is called recombination. At the time, most hydrogen atoms were neutral – non-ionized – and readily absorbed light. Density fluctuations in this ...

The Origin of the Solar System l The Big Bang - The Nine Planets
October 17, 2019. Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the “solar nebula”) is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. The disturbance could be, for example, the shock wave from a nearby supernova. As the cloud collapses, it heats ...

How many miles around the Earth? - The Nine Planets
The short answer is around 24.901 miles. The mean radius of Earth is at around 3.958 mi / 6.371 km, slightly larger than Venus, almost twice the radius of Mars and about three times that of Mercury. If you started walking from one end to the other, you would have to cover more than 24.901 mi / 40.075 km. However, things are more complicated ...
