5. The origin of astronomy
•Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The old people in recorded history made
observations of the night sky
•Babylonians(如巴⽐伦), Greeks(希腊), Indians(印度), Egyptians(埃及),
Chinese(中国) etc…
•Astronomy in Babylonia. The original stone plate describes
astronomy, and history in B.C. 652- A.D 61 (2500 years ago !)
•It was important for old people to know the motion of stars and the sun for agriculture(农业)
•In this stone plate, there is a description of
aurora.
7. Ancient Greek
Geocentric universe (地⼼宇宙)
Suggestion
Aristotle(亚⾥⼠多德)
(BC384-322)
The Earth lay at the center of the universe and all other bodies moved around it.
8. The universe is simpler!
Copernicus(哥⽩尼)
(1473-1543)
Copernican revolution
At 16th century, a major change has occurred in human’s view of the universe by
Copernicus.
Heliocentric model (⽇⼼模型,太阳中⼼模型)
The earth is not located at center of the universe. The
sun is located in the center and others planets orbit the
sun.
10. Tycho Brahe
(1546-1601)
•Brahe had measured the motion of the sun, moon, planets and stars
for 29 years and he collected much data on the motion of the planet,
sun and moon.
11. Johannes Kepler
(1571-1630)
Tycho Brahe
(1546-1601)
•Brahe had measured the motion of the sun, moon, planets and stars
for 29 years and he collected much data on the motion of the planet,
sun and moon.
•Kepler found laws that can explain Brahe’s
data(Kepler’s law)

•Kepler found laws that can explain Brahe’s

•Galileo’s observation
supports the idea of

Our understanding of the universe
is had been gradually updated!

mechanics and his law of gravity.

We can say, “Our trial to understand the
universe has not only enrich our mind, but
also developed our life !”
“What is the astronomy useful for?”
16. Is Newton theory perfect?
Newton explained the motion of planets. So, that’s all? Did we understand gravity?
No! This is just beginning of the modern physics.
Newton’s theory has continued for 250 years! But, in 1905, Einstein suggested a new theory of
gravity, called theory of general relativity (⼴义相对论)
250 years
Albert Einstein
17. Einstein gravity
•In Newton's theory, he did not explain what gravity is. He just explained the how we calculate
the gravity.

•However, Einstein explained “Gravity is a distortion of space-time(引⼒是时空的扭曲).”
时空的扭曲
物质(能量)
If there exists material (energy), it distorts space-time and then
gravity arises.
19. Expansion of the universe
•General relativity theoretically predicts
“expanding universe (膨胀宇宙)”
In 1929, Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving away from earth at speeds proportion to
their distance.
V = Hr
The velocity of galaxy
How long distance galaxy is
away from us
•This is due to expansion of the universe.

.
If the universe is expanding, wouldn't the universe be smaller when we go back in time?
A
.
Yes, the early universe is smaller, hotter, and denser!
Light elements such as hydrogen, deuterium, helium, and lithium formed in the hot,
dense early universe (Big Bang nucleosynthesis). The Big Bang is not the explosion of
the universe, but the creation of elements in a hot, dense universe

First, deuterium (D) is synthesized from protons and neutrons.
However, deuterium is easy to be decayed and is destroyed by
photons (γ).
The first 3 minutes

22. pnD
When the temperature of the universe reaches below
0.1MeV (about 3 minutes after the birth of the universe),
photons no longer have the energy to destroy deuterium,
and a sufficient amount of deuterium is produced.

called cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB).

•On the Moon, the effects of the ionosphere and artificial radio, which
are disturbing for low-frequency radio observations, can be
suppressed.

power!
55. Summary
• Our view of the universe has been updated for these 2000 years
• Expanding universe, big bang theory, and CMB are essential to
modern cosmology
• Dark Ages and EoR have veiled epochs in the history of the
universe.
• The 21cm line is a very powerful tool to investigate Dark Ages
and EoR
• Exciting projects are coming soon!!
