The universe began approximately 15 billion years ago with the Big Bang, where all matter, energy, and space was concentrated in a single point that suddenly expanded. Over time, hydrogen and helium from this expansion condensed under gravity to form the first stars and galaxies. The universe has continued expanding and cooling ever since. Modern cosmological theories including the Big Bang and Steady State theories attempt to explain the origin and evolution of the known universe.
The document discusses the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe originated from a huge explosion of a massive, dense concentration of matter approximately 15 billion years ago. According to the theory, after this initial explosion, the pieces of matter expanded and separated in all directions, forming galaxies, and the universe has continued growing larger as the galaxies move further apart from each other over billions of years. Edwin Hubble helped develop this theory in the 1920s after making astronomical observations with a powerful new telescope.
This document discusses the exploration and discovery of planets, moons, and dwarf planets within our solar system. It describes findings such as the presence of liquid methane on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and sedimentary rocks on Mars that indicate ancient water. It outlines plans for human colonization of Mars by 2027 through the Mars One program. Additionally, it provides details on dwarf planets such as Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris, and discusses the first exoplanet discovered in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, Kepler-22b.
The document discusses the origin and evolution of models of the universe. It begins by describing early flat earth cosmologies from ancient civilizations like Egypt, India, and Mesopotamia. It then outlines the development of the spherical earth model in ancient Greece, including ideas proposed by Pythagoras, Plato, and calculations made by Eratosthenes to estimate the earth's circumference. The document also summarizes the geocentric model developed by the Greeks with the earth at the center, and revisions made by Aristotle and Ptolemy. Finally, it outlines the heliocentric model first proposed by Aristarchus, placing the sun at the center, and the further developments of this model by Copernicus.
The document provides an overview of the size and contents of the universe. It begins by explaining that the universe includes all physical matter and energy, from atoms to galaxies. It then notes that the tour will focus on the part of the universe outside Earth. The document goes on to summarize how human understanding of the universe's size has expanded over time, from only a few thousand light years across to immensely larger. It lists some of the key components that make up the universe, such as matter, energy, planets, stars, and more.
The document provides an overview of the universe and some of its key components:
1. The universe originated from the Big Bang around 13.7 billion years ago and has been expanding and cooling ever since.
2. Galaxies form the basic building blocks of the universe and come in three main types: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Our galaxy is the Milky Way galaxy.
3. Stars are born in nebulae and come in different colors, temperatures, and magnitudes depending on their stage of life. When stars die, they may become black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs.
The universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old and contains countless galaxies, many with supermassive black holes at their centers. The Milky Way galaxy is the one that contains our solar system. According to the leading Big Bang theory, the universe began as an extremely hot and dense singularity which expanded rapidly approximately 13 billion years ago, resulting in the formation of hydrogen and helium from the cooling nuclear matter. Evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang model includes the redshift of distant galaxies and the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation.
This document provides an overview of astronomy and the solar system. It defines astronomy as the study of anything seen in the sky and beyond. It describes how astronomy uses observation and integration with other sciences due to the difficulty of conducting experiments. It then reviews the key components of the solar system, including the sun, terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, and smaller objects. Finally, it discusses units for measuring astronomical distances and provides examples to demonstrate the immense sizes within the universe.

The document also provides an overview of Cassini's findings at Saturn like liquid water under the ice of Enceladus and methane seas on Titan. Finally, it outlines the goals of the Juno mission to Jupiter to determine the planet's deep structure and composition.
The Kepler Space Telescope initially discovered exoplanets by detecting periodic dips in stars' brightness caused by planets transiting, or passing in front of their host stars. After mechanical failures ended its primary mission, Kepler began a new K2 mission looking within the ecliptic plane. Kepler-186f, the first validated Earth-sized planet within a star's habitable zone, was discovered. The Kepler telescope helped categorize exoplanets into three types - rocky planets, gas dwarfs, and gas giants - expanding understanding of the diversity of planetary systems.
Theories on the origin of the Solar SystemJerome Bigael
The document discusses theories on the origin of the solar system. It begins by describing the basic composition of the solar system, including stars, planets, natural satellites, comets, asteroids, and the interplanetary medium. It then discusses several theories for how the solar system formed, including:
- The nebular hypothesis proposed in the 1700s that a rotating gaseous cloud contracted to form the sun and planets from the surrounding disc. However, it did not fully explain the distribution of angular momentum.
- Encounter hypotheses proposed interactions between stars caused matter to be drawn off and form planets, but cannot explain the different ages of the sun and planets.
- The currently accepted protoplanet

This document provides information about early space exploration missions and discoveries. It discusses the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957, which sparked the Space Race between the US and USSR. The US response was the Explorer 1 mission launched in 1958. Explorer 1 helped discover the Van Allen radiation belts around Earth through measurements taken by the spacecraft. The document also discusses the Voyager missions and discoveries about trapped radiation around planets with magnetic fields. It raises questions about the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the solar system and beyond.
This document defines key vocabulary terms related to the universe and astronomy, including definitions for astronomy, stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, meteors, galaxies, planetary systems, and other celestial objects and phenomena. Terms are defined briefly, with an illustration or two words added for some entries. The document serves as a reference for basic terms used in studying and describing astronomical bodies and concepts.
This document provides an overview of Hubble Space Telescope images, organized into 25 chapters on astronomical subjects. It begins with an introduction describing Hubble's launch and key accomplishments over 25 years of operation. The chapters then each describe a notable Hubble image, including details revealed in the image and related scientific discoveries. Subjects range from planets in the solar system to distant galaxies. The document concludes by recognizing Hubble's ongoing contributions to astronomy through unprecedented views of the universe.
The scientific study of the universe has evolved over time as new evidence and theories have emerged. Originally, it was thought that Earth was at the center of the universe with objects orbiting in perfect circles (Geocentric model). However, observations found inconsistencies, such as retrograde motion of planets. Ptolemy proposed adding spheres to explain orbits, while Copernicus suggested a sun-centered model (Heliocentric model). Kepler later determined planets orbit in ellipses with the sun at one focus. Galileo's telescope provided new evidence supporting Copernicus, while the Big Bang theory describes the origin of the universe.
The document discusses the universe and the Big Bang theory. It provides information on:
1) The universe consists of space, time, matter, and energy. Some hypotheses suggest there may be more dimensions and other universes beyond what we can observe.
2) Hubble's law established that galaxies are moving away from Earth and the farther away they are, the faster they recede. This supported the idea that the universe began as a single point and has been expanding ever since.
3) The Big Bang theory proposes the universe expanded from an initial extremely dense and hot state approximately 13.8 billion years ago. It explains phenomena like the cosmic microwave background radiation and abundance of light elements.
The document discusses astronomy and the scientific study of celestial objects. It provides information on stars, galaxies, and the formation and components of the solar system. Specifically, it notes that astronomy is the study of matter in outer space, including the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies. It also summarizes that the universe started as a single point which exploded outward in the big bang and has been expanding ever since. Finally, it outlines the key parts of the solar system, including the sun, planets, asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.
The document discusses three main theories about the origin and evolution of the universe: the Big Bang theory, the Steady State theory, and the Oscillating Universe theory. It provides details about each theory and the evidence that supports them, including the work of astronomers like Edwin Hubble, Vesto Slipher, and Robert Dicke. It also covers topics like the design and age of the universe, the classification and life cycles of stars, and properties of galaxies.
Origin of the Universe and the Solar SystemNikoPatawaran
The most widely accepted theory of planetary formation, known as the nebular hypothesis, maintains that 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud which was light years across.
The document discusses upcoming NASA space shuttle missions, an asteroid passing close to Earth, and provides an introduction to astronomy topics including the Big Bang theory, formation of stars and galaxies, light years, types of galaxies, solar systems, and milestones in space exploration. Key information includes the launch dates and durations of the final two space shuttle missions, an asteroid passing within 45,000 km of Earth on October 5, and an overview of how the universe formed and evolved according to the current scientific understanding.
- Sundials use the sun's position to tell time and can only be used outdoors during daylight hours without cloud cover. Ancient examples were placed in prominent locations to indicate solstices and equinoxes.
- Stonehenges were used as celestial calendars, burial sites, sacrificial altars, and defensive structures in ancient times.
- Telescopes allow viewing of distant celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope is the most advanced telescope currently in use.
The document discusses different types of galaxies and astronomical terms. It defines an astronomical unit as Earth's distance from the sun and a light year as the distance light travels. It describes galaxies as groups of billions of stars that move through space together and lists spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, and irregular as types of galaxies.
The document summarizes tides, including their causes due to the gravitational interaction between the Earth, Moon and Sun. It describes the stages of a tidal cycle from flood tide to low tide. It distinguishes between spring tides, which occur during full and new moons when gravitational forces align to produce stronger tides, and neap tides during quarter moons when forces are perpendicular and tides are weaker. Rare proxigean spring tides result from a close and aligned positioning of the Moon.
1) The document discusses the origin of the universe according to the Big Bang theory. It describes how the universe began as a very small, dense point and has been expanding ever since.
2) The Big Bang theory gained support in 1964 with the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation by Penzias and Wilson. This provided evidence that the universe had a hot, dense beginning.
3) The theory proposes that nearly 14 billion years ago, the entire visible universe was condensed into a very high density and high temperature condition, and then began rapidly expanding.
Astronomy- State of the art is a course covering the hottest topics in astronomy. In this section, the exotic end states of stars are discussed, including pulsars, neutron stars, and black holes.
The document summarizes theories about how our solar system formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust. It describes how:
1) Our solar system likely began from a giant interstellar cloud that collapsed under gravity and formed a rotating disk, with a dense center that became the Sun and a surrounding disk that formed the planets.
2) The solar nebula disk varied in temperature by distance from the Sun, allowing different elements to condense into planetary cores near and far from the Sun, forming the terrestrial and gas giant planets.
3) Asteroids and comets are remnants from solar system formation and provide clues about its early history through observations and analysis of their composition and orbits.

This document provides answers to 7 questions about energy. It states that while renewables are growing, fossil fuels are not close to the end of their era. Global CO2 emissions from energy stalled for the second year in a row as renewable energy surged. Worldwide, 96 million barrels of oil are produced daily. Low oil prices could threaten energy security in the short term of 10 years but not as much in the longer term of 20 years. Regional gas markets are becoming more global due to converging prices from low Asian demand and falling liquefied natural gas prices. The global natural gas production growth between 2015-2020 will be dominated by the US, Canada and Australia, while Europe's production is expected to decline.

There is a consensus that the universe has a beginning as well as an end, as the “Big Bang” theory indicates that the universe was dense, hot, and small, and then a big explosion occurred 13.8 billion years ago that expanded this small point in less than a billionth of a second to become It is billions of times larger than its original size in the so-called cosmic inflation phenomenon.
Edwin Hubble was a pioneering American astronomer who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Through his work at the Mount Wilson Observatory with the 100-inch Hooker telescope, he discovered that galaxies exist outside the Milky Way and that the universe is expanding. He created a classification system for galaxies that is still used today. Hubble's discoveries established the foundations of modern cosmology and earned him worldwide scientific honors for his astronomical achievements.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope which conducts infrared astronomy. As the largest optical telescope in space, its high resolution and sensitivity allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.[8] This will enable investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars, the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.[9][10].The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) led JWST's design and development and partnered with two main agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland managed telescope development, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University operates JWST, and the prime contractor was Northrop Grumman. The telescope is named after James E. Webb, who was the administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968 during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched on 25 December 2021 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, and arrived at the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point in January 2022. The first JWST image was released to the public via a press conference on 11 July 2022.[11]
JWST's primary mirror consists of 18 hexagonal mirror segments made of gold-plated beryllium, which combined create a 6.5-meter-diameter (21 ft) mirror, compared with Hubble's 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in). This gives JWST a light-collecting area of about 25 square meters, about six times that of Hubble. Unlike Hubble, which observes in the near ultraviolet and visible (0.1 to 0.8 μm), and near infrared (0.8–2.5 μm)[12] spectra, JWST observes in a lower frequency range, from long-wavelength visible light (red) through mid-infrared (0.6–28.3 μm). The telescope must be kept extremely cold, below 50 K (−223 °C; −370 °F), such that the infrared light emitted by the telescope itself does not interfere with the collected light. It is deployed in a solar orbit near the Sun–Earth L2 Lagrange point, about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 mi) from Earth, where its five-layer sunshield protects it from warming by the Sun, Earth, and Moon.Initial designs for the telescope, then named the Next Generation Space Telescope, began in 1996. Two concept studies were commissioned in 1999, for a potential launch in 2007 and a US$1 billion budget. The program was plagued with enormous cost overruns and delays; a major redesign in 2005 led to the current approach, with construction completed in 2016 at a total cost of US$10 billion. The high-stakes nature of the launch and the telescope's complexity were remarked upon by the media, scientists, and engineers.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is an infrared telescope scheduled to launch in 2021 that will complement the Hubble Space Telescope. JWST has a larger primary mirror than Hubble, enabling it to observe more distant, older galaxies. It will operate in orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Earth-Sun system to maintain its extremely cold operating temperature. The JWST is named after NASA administrator James E. Webb and is designed to operate for a minimum of 5 years, with the goal of over 10 years of operation without the possibility of servicing missions.
This document provides information about space, cosmology, the Big Bang theory, and the formation and significance of stars. It discusses what space is, the study of cosmology, evidence for the Big Bang, how stars are formed from nebulae and gravitational collapse, and how stars provide light, heat, energy and are essential for life on Earth.
ASTRONOMY, THE REVOLUTIONARY JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF KNOW...Faga1939
This article aims to present the contribution of astronomy and, in particular, the James Webb telescope to the advancement of knowledge about the Universe. Astronomy is the study of the Universe that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere. This includes objects that can be seen with the naked eye, such as the Sun, Moon, planets and stars. It also includes celestial bodies that can only be observed with telescopes or other instruments, such as distant galaxies and small particles, and it also includes things we cannot see, such as dark matter and dark energy. The main goal of the James Webb Telescope is to peer into the past, looking back a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang. One of the James Webb Telescope's key abilities is its ability to look back through time to the beginning of the Universe, observing the first galaxies and stars. The telescope, which is 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, has already spotted the most distant and oldest galaxy found so far. The James Webb Telescope also made the first detection of a “molecule of life”. The James Webb super telescope, with its great discoveries, shows the importance of the telescope by revealing, with unexpected speed, a series of information that can call cosmological theories into question.
The document summarizes information about the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). In 3 sentences:
The HST has been orbiting Earth for over two decades, helping answer astronomical questions and uncover new mysteries. It has changed astronomy by investigating things like black holes and planets around other stars. Some of Hubble's key discoveries include finding over 3,000 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field, which revealed distant galaxies, and imaging exoplanets like Fomalhaut b.
This document discusses the fine-tuned universe theory, which argues that the universe appears carefully designed to support life. It outlines several factors that must be precisely tuned for life, such as the organization of matter into atoms and precise mass relationships between subatomic particles. The document also reviews ideas about the origin of the universe, such as the Big Bang theory and biblical creation account. It provides illustrations of astronomical objects and facts about the immense scale of the universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a large space-based infrared telescope that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope. Named after former NASA administrator James E. Webb, the JWST has a 6.5 meter primary mirror, larger than Hubble's, that will enable it to observe more distant, older galaxies than Hubble. The JWST is designed to operate in an orbit around the second Lagrange point of the Earth-Sun system to maintain its extremely cold 50 Kelvin operating temperature for infrared observations. It is scheduled to launch in 2021 and have a minimum operational lifetime of 5 years.

The document discusses the origin and evolution of human species in the universe. It covers topics like the Ptolemaic and heliocentric models of the universe, the formation of the solar system, discoveries of exoplanets, the Milky Way galaxy, expansion of the universe according to Hubble's law, and the Big Bang theory for the origin of the universe approximately 13.7 billion years ago. The document provides information on these topics through questions, descriptions, images, and discussions of the scientific evidence supporting modern cosmological theories.
Dark side ofthe_universe_public_29_september_2017_nazarbayev_shrtZhaksylyk Kazykenov
1) The document discusses the history of discoveries about the universe, from ancient cosmologies to modern precision cosmology. Key developments include realizing the sun is at the center of the solar system, discovering other galaxies and the expansion of the universe, and detecting the cosmic microwave background and dark matter.
2) Current open questions about the universe include the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Observations show dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the universe, but its underlying cause remains unknown. Precise measurements aim to distinguish between models of dark energy.
3) The standard cosmological model has been very successful in explaining observations but has fine-tuning problems regarding why the present epoch is dominated by both matter and dark energy.
Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than our sun. The Kepler space telescope discovered thousands of exoplanets since 2009. The first confirmed exoplanet, 51 Pegasi b, was discovered in 1995 orbiting a star similar to our sun. It is a gas giant that orbits very closely, allowing its orbit to be easily detected. Future missions like TESS, launching in 2018, aim to discover Earth-like exoplanets to search for life elsewhere. Direct imaging techniques are also being used to image exoplanets rather than detecting them through their star's wobble. Thousands of exoplanets have been found, but most so far are gas or ice giants, though some rocky planets exist, leaving the possibility of life unknown.

1) James Peebles received the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theories about how the universe began and evolved. He helped develop the standard cosmological model of the Big Bang theory.
2) According to the Big Bang theory, approximately 15 billion years ago all the matter and energy in the observable universe was concentrated in a very dense and hot state. It has been expanding and cooling ever since.
3) Measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation provide strong evidence that the universe evolved from a hot, dense early state and has been expanding according to the predictions of the Big Bang theory.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

For centuries the vastness of the night sky has prompted humansto ponder the big questionsWho are we? Why are we here?What is here?
Time has yielded technical innovations that have improved discovery and allowed mankind to view the heavens more clinically, yet with the same sense of wonder
With each step in observatory size & power, the field of Astrophysics has expanded.Our understanding of celestial bodies has progressively moved further and further and further outward. We’ve built very capable terrestrial instruments. We are here at one of them tonight. These have raised discovery to remarkable new levels revealing things that no one could have imaged
Look up and see this band of lightBut this is a look at the Milky Way from “above”
With the advent of access to space, the observational high ground has moved above the earth.Today space-based observatories float along in the heavens, peering outwards, looking ever further.Northrop Grumman has been committed to Human discovery of space fielding 3-4 (verifying number)? of the Nation’s great observatories.These, together with Hubble, have yielded absolutely stunning results that serve only to whet our appetitesfor more
Here is Our sun is one starBillions of stars in our GalaxyIf the Sun were the size of a grain of sand, our Galaxy would be the size of the Earthwhat one of those dots looks like up close – Hubble picture
But discovery informs further discovery.Dimmer, older light, which Blake will talk to you about in a few minutes, is accessible by • going out further, • building a larger, more sensitive telescope• that is specifically aimed to collect this older light.With JWST, which Scott will speak to you on in great detail, our collective understanding will travel back in time eons further than we could with previous systems.JWST will retrieve this data in a 100th of the time of Hubble.It is our privilege to support NASA and the Nation – for that matter – Humanity in the continued quest for knowledge with the next great space telescope, JWST
