Redshift

  • is a measure of how far away the galaxies are.

2
New cards

Extragalactic Object

  • Objects outside the galaxy.

3
New cards

Doppler Shift/Effect

  • is used to measure the speed at which stars are approaching or receding from us.

4
New cards

He stated that all the galaxies in the universe are rushing away from us at the recession velocity of distant extragalactic objects is directly proportional to its distance.

Edwin Hubble

5
New cards

What did Edwin Hubble proposed to?

Hubble’s Law

6
New cards

When did Edwin Hubble Proposed Hubble’s Law?

1929

7
New cards

What is the concept of Hubble’s Law?

Expansion

8
New cards

The property by which all direction appear indistinguishable to an observer expanding with the universe

Isotropy

9
New cards

is the consequence of motion relative to us.

Cosmological Redshift

10
New cards

Redshift as Astronomical object within the the galaxy interpreted as

Doppler Shift or Effect

11
New cards

14 billion years ago, Science believed that a thin gas of hydrogen condensed to become the earliest star.

Formation of Elements

12
New cards

is the creation of the elements by nuclear reaction and it began when the temperature of primitive universe dropped to about 10 to the 9th power K.

The Nucleosynthesis

13
New cards

begins about one minute after the Big Bang, when the universe has cooled enough to form stable protons and neutrons, after baryogenesis.

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

14
New cards

H-1 or Simply H

Hydrogen

15
New cards

Isotope Deuterium

H-2 or D

16
New cards

Helium Isotopes

He-3 and He-4

17
New cards

is the process by which elements are created within the star by combining the protons and neutrons from the nuclei of lighter elements.

Stellar Nucleosynthesis

18
New cards

All of the atoms in the universe begins as

Hydrogen

19
New cards

Fusion inside the star transform hydrogen to

Helium, Heat, and Radiation

20
New cards

Element formation occurs in such massive stars both during pre-explosion evolution and during the explosion itself.

Supernova Nucleosynthesis

21
New cards

Stellar Nucleosynthesis elements formed are

Hydrogen, Helium, and Lithium

22
New cards

Supernova Nucleosynthesis elements formed ranges from

Oxygen through to Iron, also Uranium and Gold.
