$100 Question from Big Bang Theory
What is the main idea of the Big Bang Theory?
$100 Answer from Big Bang Theory
That an unimaginably small volume of space suddenly and rapidly expanded to an immense size.

$400 Question from Big Bang Theory
Who proposed the Big Bang Theory?
$400 Answer from Big Bang Theory
Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaitre.
$500 Question from Big Bang Theory
Describe how the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite helped prove the occurrence of the Big Bang Theory.
$500 Answer from Big Bang Theory
The COBE map of cosmic background radiation shows the radiation that scientists believe is left over from the Big Bang expansion
$100 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is a spectrum?
$100 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
The colours that are created when white light passes through a prism.
$200 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What do we call radiation that is carried in the form of waves?
$200 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
Electromagnetic radiation
$300 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is the purpose of a spectroscope?
$300 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
To separate light into its basic component colours, and it also allows the user to view the spectral lines produced by a light sourse and to measure their wavelengths
$400 Question from Red Shift Analysis
Give four examples of electromagnetic radiation.
$400 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
X-rays, microwaves, visible light and radio waves.
$500 Question from Red Shift Analysis
What is indicated by a shift of a galaxy’s spectral lines toward the red part of its spectrum?
$500 Answer from Red Shift Analysis
That the galaxy is receding, or moving away from Earth.
$100 Question from Edwin Hubble
What can Hubble’s proposal be compared to?
$100 Answer from Edwin Hubble
It can be compared to a loaf of raisin bread in the oven
$200 Question from Edwin Hubble
What is the first part of Hubble’s proposal?
$200 Answer from Edwin Hubble
The universe is expanding in all directions
$300 Question from Edwin Hubble
Why is a loaf of raisin bread a good comparison to the movement of galaxies?
$300 Answer from Edwin Hubble
The raisin in the bread is like the galaxies, moving away from each other as the bread expands.
$400 Question from Edwin Hubble
What was the second part of Hubble’s proposal?
$400 Answer from Edwin Hubble
All the galaxies have taken the same amount of time to reach their present position
$500 Question from Edwin Hubble
How many galaxies did Hubble estimate there to be?
$500 Answer from Edwin Hubble
Hubble estimated that there were 46 galaxies.

$100 Answer from Vocabulary
People who study objects in space.
$200 Question from Vocabulary
What is a spectroscope?
$200 Answer from Vocabulary
An optical instrument used to separate light into its basic component colours.
$300 Question from Vocabulary
What is electromagnetic radiation?
$300 Answer from Vocabulary
Energy that is carried in the form of waves that range in length from short to long.
$400 Question from Vocabulary
What are Celestial Bodies?
$400 Answer from Vocabulary
The general term for all the objects in the sky; includingthe Sun, Moon, planets and stars
$500 Question from Vocabulary
What is the cosmological red shift?
$500 Answer from Vocabulary
Wavelengths of radiated light that are being constantly stretched as the light crosses the expanded universe
