What do the initial moments after the Big Bang have in common with the universe as it exists now?
a. All the stars, galaxies, and planets that exist today were formed just a few moments after the Big Bang.
b. The universe back then could not sustain life, and it cannot sustain life now.
c. The universe was extremely hot then, and it is still extremely hot now.
d. The universe began expanding then, and it is still expanding today.

the remaining energy from the big bang.
incredibly hot.
visible to the human eye.
only located in certain places in the universe.
The more distant a galaxy, the faster it is

How is the universe rising raisin bread dough? Or, like a ballon with dots on it?
As the dough sits there it becomes smaller and smaller.
As the dough expands the raising bunch up together.
As the dough contracts, it become ready for the oven.
As the dough expands, the raising move further apart from each other.
In which direction are nearly all galaxies moving?
toward each other
away from each other
colliding into one another
in the direction of Earth
a force that is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate
dark energy
the big bang
planetesimals
solar nebula
We learned that cosmic expansion causes red-shift, and not motion. How is this explained?
Distant galaxies are moving, and the space between them is just expanding
Distant galaxies aren’t moving, the space between them is just expanding
Distant galaxies are moving, and the space between them remains the same
What is recessional velocity
Red-shift
Hubble time
The relative distance to the galaxy
Speed (in a direction) that galaxies are moving away
