ACTIVITY#4. BIG BANG, THE ORIGIN AND THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE

 THE BIG BANG


Most astronomers believe the Universe began in a Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. At that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. It was hotter and denser than anything we can imagine.


Then it suddenly exploded. The Universe that we know was born. Time, space and matter all began with the Big Bang, all of this in a fraction of a second, and it is still expanding today.


As the Universe expanded and cooled, energy changed into particles of matter and antimatter. Over the next three minutes, the temperature dropped below 1 billion degrees Celsius.

Afterwards, the constellations were used for night navigation. In space there are 88 constellations. These are some of the most famous constellations: The Greeks were the first ones to discover constellations, this is why more constellations have they originally name in Greek. If you want to search for constellations it will be easily if you go somewhere far from the city, and lighting roads and highways. Better if the climate it’s not very hot. If you complete all these circumstances you can start searching constellations easily way. To orientate yourself you can search the Ursa minor, which is the one who marks the north. Another constellation you can search is Southern Cross which marks the south. If you’re in the sea you can search for the Astrolabe. The four constellations: Draco: Pegasus: Scorpius:

  THE SOLAR SYSTEM The solar system is a planetary system where you can find the Earth and seven more planets. Moreover, there are a lot more astronomy objects that round directly or indirectly in an orbit nearby the sun. The sun takes up 99,75% of the solar system, and the biggest part of the rest is found on the eight planets, there are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Their orbits are practically circular, and they round in that order nearby the sun.  The moon is an astro like the earth. On the Earth we see it floating in space, the moon is a sphere, like a ball fifty times smaller than the Earth. On the moon it seems like it isn’t any water, it’s a dry desert. The moon takes 28 days to do a whole turn to the Earth. The moon also has a rotation move in itself. In actuality the moon makes a non-circular orbit around the Earth and moves between 350-400 thousand km away from us. The moon's diameter mides 3.470 km,  which is 27% of the Earth. The a
