10.1 The big bang theoryBy the end of section 10.1 you should be able to understand the following:• How Edwin Hubble helped astronomers tracing the
paths of movement backwards• What is cosmic background radiation• That microwave radiation causes cosmic background
radiation

Hubble’s observed the galaxies moving away from one another
Approximately 13.7 billion years ago there was an unimaginably tiny volume of space
space rapidly expanded to an immense size
Big bang theory isn’t the only theory about how the universe formed

That catastrophic event First described by a Belgian priest and
physicist Georges Lemaitre in 1927 Known as the Big Bang Theory

Two American astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson made a discovery that is a important piece of evidence
Arno and Robert were monitoring microwave radiation in space

Arno and Robert kept hearing background noises they made several adjustments
After they found out they were detecting cosmic background radiation
Cosmic Background Radiation (cont.)
This is the radiations that scientists believe is left over the big bang expansion. The red area’s indicate the period of slightly hotter temperatures. The blue area’s are the periods that have slightly cooler temperatures.

background radiation Called Wilkinson Microwave Anistrophy Probe
(WMAP) Was able to get more precise measurement
than have been ever made.
