A theory that says the universe began as a small point that expanded rapidly about 13.7 billion years ago.

• Big Bang Theory

• Singularity Theory

• Galaxy Theory

A large grouping of stars, planets, gas, and dust in space held together by gravity.

• Universe

• Galaxy

• Space

The change in wavelength that allows us to determine if an object if moving toward us or away from us

• Whiteshift and Blueshift

• Redshift and Greenshift

• Redshift and Blueshift

All space and the matter space contains

• Universe

• Galaxy

• Super Nova

Which description is considered most accurate regarding what actually happened during the Big Bang?

• Two galaxies collided causing an immense explosion as stars crashed into one another

• All of what would become the universe was concentrated in a single small point, or singularity, which rapidly expanded into what is now stars, planets, galaxies, matter, and energy.

• All matter emerged from a massive black hole at the center of the universe.

• Parts of the sun were ripped off by massive internal explosions and were thrown into space where they cooled to become other things, like plants, comets, and other galaxies.

Observations of space indicate that most matter in the universe is ___.

• hydrogen, helium, and dark matter

• gold and plutonium

• oxygen and water vapor

• carbon

Which of the following is evidence of the Big Bang Theory?

• Cavemen heard a loud bang at the beginning of time.
• The universe isn't moving
• The universe is expanding
• The universe is getting smaller

Which of the following is NOT true about the Big Bang Theory?

• It is the scientific explanation of how life began on Earth and evolved over time.
• It is the scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.
• It states that the universe expanded from a single point and is still expanding today.
• It states that the universe used to be much hotter and smaller.

What can we conclude from the observation that nearly all galaxies are moving away from us?

• Massive black holes are drawing galaxies away from Earth.
• The Sun and Earth are located at the center of the universe.
• Everything in the universe is moving the same direction.
• The once-smaller universe is expanding in all directions.

Galaxies that are REDSHIFTED are:

• actually BLUE

• really NEAR earth

• invisible or not visible

• moving AWAY from us.
