13.

Education, Inc. How did we come to be?
14.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How can we know what the universe was like in the past? • Light travels at a finite speed (300,000 km/s). • Thus, we see objects as they were in the past: The farther away we look in distance, the further back we look in time. Destination Light travel time Moon 1 second Sun 8 minutes Sirius 8 years Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million years
15.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Example: We see the Orion Nebula as it looked 1500 years ago.
16.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Example: This photo shows the Andromeda Galaxy as it looked about 2 1/2 million years ago. Question: When will we be able to see what it looks like now?
17.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Light-year • The distance light can travel in 1 year • About 10 trillion kilometers (6 trillion miles)
18.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. • At great distances, we see objects as they were when the universe was much younger.
19.

Education, Inc. How far is a light-year? 1light-year = (speed of light) (1 year) km 365 days 24 hr 60 min 60 s = 300,000 s 1 yr 1 day 1 hr 1 min

Education, Inc. Can we see the entire universe?
22.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. A. Because no galaxies exist at such a great distance. B. Galaxies may exist at that distance, but their light would be too faint for our telescopes to see. C. Because looking 15 billion light-years away means looking to a time before the universe existed. Thought Question Why can’t we see a galaxy 15 billion light-years away? (Assume the universe is 14 billion years old.)

(Assume the universe is 14 billion years old.)
24.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • What is our physical place in the universe? – Earth is part of the solar system, which is the Milky Way Galaxy, which is a member of the Local Group of galaxies in the Local Supercluster. • How did we come to be? – The matter in our bodies came from the Big Bang, which produced hydrogen and helium. – All other elements were constructed from H and He in stars and then recycled into new star systems, including our solar system.
25.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • How can we know what the universe was like in the past? – When we look to great distances, we are seeing events that happened long ago because light travels at a finite speed. • Can we see the entire universe? – No. The observable portion of the universe is about 14 billion light-years in radius because the universe is about 14 billion years old.
26.

Education, Inc. 1.2 The Scale of the Universe • How big is Earth compared to our solar system? • How far away are the stars? • How big is the Milky Way Galaxy? • How big is the universe? • How do our lifetimes compare to the age of the universe? Our goals for learning:
27.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How big is Earth compared to our solar system? Let’s reduce the size of the solar system by a factor of 10 billion; the Sun is now the size of a large grapefruit (14 cm diameter). How big is Earth on this scale? A. an atom B. a ball point C. a marble D. a golf ball

29.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. The scale of the solar system • On a 1-to-10- billion scale: – The Sun is the size of a large grapefruit (14 cm). – Earth is the size of a ball point, 15 meters away.
30.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. On our 1-to-10-billion scale, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to Pluto. How far would you have to walk to reach Alpha Centauri? A. 1 mile B. 10 miles C. 100 miles D. the distance across the United States (2500 miles) How far away are the stars?
31.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Answer: D, the distance across the United States
32.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How big is the Milky Way Galaxy? The Milky Way has about 100 billion stars. On the same 1-to-10- billion scale, how big is the Milky Way?
33.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Thought Question Suppose you tried to count the more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy, at a rate of one per second. How long would it take you? A. a few weeks B. a few months C. a few years D. a few thousand years
34.

Education, Inc. Suppose you tried to count the more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy, at a rate of one per second. How long would it take you? A. a few weeks B. a few months C. a few years D. a few thousand years
35.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How big is the universe? • The Milky Way is one of about 100 billion galaxies. • 1011 stars/galaxy x 1011 galaxies = 1022 stars There are as many stars as grains of (dry) sand on all Earth’s beaches.
36.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. • Now let’s step through the universe in powers of 10:
37.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How do our lifetimes compare to the age of the universe? • The cosmic calendar: a scale on which we compress the history of the universe into 1 year.
38.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • How big is Earth compared to our solar system? – The distances between planets are huge compared to their sizes—on a scale of 1-to-10-billion, Earth is the size of a ball point and the Sun is 15 meters away. • How far away are the stars? – On the same scale, the stars are thousands of kilometers away. • How big is the Milky Way Galaxy? – It would take more than 3000 years to count the stars in the Milky Way Galaxy at a rate of one per second, and they are spread across 100,000 light-years.
39.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • How big is the universe? – The observable universe is 14 billion light- years in radius and contains over 100 billion galaxies with a total number of stars comparable to the number of grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches. • How do our lifetimes compare to the age of the universe? – On a cosmic calendar that compresses the history of the universe into 1 year, human civilization is just a few seconds old, and a human lifetime is a fraction of a second.

Education, Inc. 1.3 Spaceship Earth • How is Earth moving in our solar system? • How is our solar system moving in the Milky Way Galaxy? • How do galaxies move within the universe? • Are we ever sitting still? Our goals for learning:
41.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How is Earth moving in our solar system? • Contrary to our perception, we are not “sitting still.” • We are moving with Earth in several ways, and at surprisingly fast speeds. The Earth rotates around its axis once every day.
42.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Earth orbits the Sun (revolves) once every year: • at an average distance of 1 AU ≈ 150 million kilometers. • with Earth’s axis tilted by 23.5º (pointing to Polaris) It rotates in the same direction it orbits, counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole.
43.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Our Sun moves randomly relative to the other stars in the local solar neighborhood… • typical relative speeds of more than 70,000 km/hr • but stars are so far away that we cannot easily notice their motion … and orbits the galaxy every 230 million years. How is our Sun moving in in the Milky Way Galaxy?
44.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. More detailed study of the Milky Way’s rotation reveals one of the greatest mysteries in astronomy:
45.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. How do galaxies move within the universe? Galaxies are carried along with the expansion of the universe. But how did Hubble figure out that the universe is expanding?
46.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Hubble discovered that • All galaxies outside our Local Group are moving away from us. • The more distant the galaxy, the faster it is racing away. Conclusion: We live in an expanding universe.
47.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. Are we ever sitting still?
48.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • How is Earth moving in our solar system? – It rotates on its axis once a day and orbits the Sun at a distance of 1 AU = 150 million kilometers. • How is our solar system moving in the Milky Way Galaxy? – Stars in the Local Neighborhood move randomly relative to one another and orbit the center of the Milky Way in about 230 million years.
49.
© 2010 Pearson
Education, Inc. What have we learned? • How do galaxies move within the universe? – All galaxies beyond the Local Group are moving away from us with expansion of the universe: the more distant they are, the faster they’re moving. • Are we ever sitting still? – No! Earth is constantly in motion, even though we don’t notice it.
