    universe proposed by the prophets. For long time their existence in the universe was a religious belief. Now‚ by comparative study of astronomical discoveries with the religious cosmology‚ I have identified the distant celestial bodies the stars‚ galaxies‚ quasars‚ pulsars‚ and black holes all are hells of religious cosmology. Although scientific discipline of astronomy has made tremendous stride in understanding the nature of the universe‚ the astronomers did not explain the aim of creation and ultimate

    working at Mt. Wilson‚ Hubble proved that there were other galaxies existed‚ outside the Milky Way. By taking many photographs through the 100-inch reflecting Hooker telescope he devised a classification system for the various galaxies he observed. He divided galaxies into elliptical‚spiral‚barred spirals‚ and irregular galaxies.Not only that but‚ he sorted the galaxies by shape‚brightness‚ and distance; it was then he noticed redshifts in galaxies’ light emissions were moving away from each other at a

    Edwin Hubble. Hubble made the observation that the universe is continuously expanding. He discovered that a galaxy’s velocity is proportional to its distance. Galaxies that are twice as far from us move twice as fast. Another consequence is that the universe is expanding in every direction. This observation means that it has taken every galaxy the same amount of time to

    consists of billions of galaxies that each contain billions of stars. Around some stars Planets and moons trace elliptical orbits. Within these orbits there are spherical bodies. These range in size from large asteroids to tiny particles smaller than a grain of dust‚ all of this is classified as baryonic matter by Astronomers. The fundamental core of the universe is known as the atom. During the 1970’s astronomers collected information surrounding the mass of Galaxies. They calculated this by

    birth of time and space. Hubble’s Law‚ concerning the directional movement of galaxies‚ further proves the expansion of the universe. It is said that the universe may well be “expanding” still at an enormous rate‚ and observations have shown this to be true. This is in agreement with the Big Bang Theory as an expansion means there was a starting point and time for the universe. Through the Doppler Shift effect‚ galaxies have been observed to be in ‘redshift’ when viewed from Earth‚ meaning they are

    Quasars A Quasi-stellar radio source‚ also known as a quasar‚ is an extremely distant nucleus to an active galaxy. They are the furthest objects away from our galaxy that can be seen‚ but are visible to us because they are the brightest matter in our universe. Quasars are known to have an extremely high redshift. Though we have not been observing quasars for long enough to determine how they are born‚ they are believed to have been formed by supermassive black holes consuming an enormous amount

    Astronomers from all over the world worked together to make the observations that led to their conclusion that the universe is dying. The study was conducted as part of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey‚ the largest survey of its type to have ever taken place. The scientists in the survey measured 221‚373 galaxies to

    and 1970s‚ astronomer Vera Rubin was observing spiral galaxies. She was interested in how they rotate‚ because you can learn a lot about a galaxy that way. Think about the Solar System. Back in the 1600s‚ Johannes Kepler figured out that the farther a planet is from the Sun‚ the slower it orbits. Isaac Newton put numbers to that‚ calculating the strength of the Sun’s gravity‚ which means we could in turn get the Sun’s mass. Same with galaxies. If you can measure how they rotate‚ how rapidly gas clouds
