Hubble Space Telescope

• The Hubble Space Telescope is orbiting the
  Earth 370 miles above Earths atmosphere.
• It is a space observatory in the great
  observation program and it was named after the
  scientist Edwin Hubble.
• Because of the Hubble Space Telescope,
  scientists discovered more galaxies, and planets.
• The Hubble Space Telescope helped scientists
  come up with the Big Bang theory. Astronomers use
  the Hubble Space Telescope to take pictures and
  give a closer view of the wonders of the
  universe.

Big Bang

• Some people believe that the Big Bang theory was
  how
• the universe was made.
• The Big Bang theory says that there was a small
  sphere of
• gas with matter that once exploded.
• The matter that was in that small sphere created
  all the
• galaxies, planets, solar systems, and the
  universe.
• Astronomers estimated that the Big Bang happened
  between
• 12 to 14 billion years ago.

• Thanks to the Big Bang, matter was spread in the
  whole universe.
• What is matter? Matter is something that has
  mass and takes up space.
• When matter was spread in the universe,
  planets and galaxies were made.
• There is a different type of matter called dark
  matter. Some scientist believe that dark matter
  to be subatomic particles that rarely interact
  with
• Ordinary matter.
• Did you know that 90 of matter in the universe
  is invisible? This will help astronomers
  comprehend the universes density.

Galaxy

• Galaxies are large systems that contain millions
  of stars and matter.
• There are four different types of galaxies,
• spiral, elliptical, irregular , and the
  Lenticular
• The type of galaxy we live in is an spiral
  galaxy.
• The name of our spiral galaxy is called the
• Milky Way.
• The Milky Way got its name from a Greek myth
  about the goddess Hera, who sprayed milk in the
  sky.

Solar System

• Solar Systems were formed from giant clouds of
  dust
• and gas.
• Over 98.8 of the mass ended up in the sun, our
  nearest
• Stellar neighbor.
• Our Solar System has 8 planets after Pluto was
  considered
• no longer a Planet.
• This Solar system contains asteroids, meteors ,
  and stars.
• No one knows how many Solar Systems could be in
  the
• Universe.

Planets

• Most of the matter is contributed to the sun, the
  rest of the matter was contributed to planets.
• Scientists have discovered that we actually have
  8 planets in our solar system, not 9 after they
  discovered that Pluto was not a planet.
• Who knows if there are other planets out there in
  the universe?

8
Gravity

• What is Gravity? Gravity is a strong force that
  keeps us on earth and prevents us from floating
  into space.
• Gravity is a force that holds all the planets in
  the imaginary line, which shows the order of how
  scientists believe the planets evolve around the
  Sun.

Albert Einstein

• Albert Einstein was born in Germany, on March 14,
  1879.
• Albert Einstein believed the universe was
  static, which means
• something that stays the same and does not grow.
• If he was alive he would be surprised with all
  the knowledge
• that we now know because of technology and
  scientists hard
• Work.
