1055 Words5 Pages

Cosmology Report It's impossible to completely understand what happens in our universe. Whether it is space battles or aliens experimenting on cows, no one will ever fully know what's out there. In this report, you will learn about what we know about our universe. To start you will begin by learning about the creation of the universe, then about what cosmology is, and end it with learning about our universe today. Cosmology is the study of stars, space, and the universe. The universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. Many researchers and scientist say there wasn't anything before the Big Bang, that space, time, and even the universe all began at the same time as the Big Bang. To study the cosmology of the universe, NASA …show more content…

A planet is a universal object with enough mass to orbit around a star and round itself out without being able to create thermonuclear fusion. They have also cleared the universe of planetesimals(a body that could or did come together with many others under gravitation to form a planet (Dictionary.com)). Planet types: Terrestrial planets are planets that can support one form of life or another. Earth is a known Terrestrial planet in the milky way galaxy. Some other planets that can support life are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Saturn is a planet in a series of the Jovian planets, otherwise known as uninhabitable balls of gas along with Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus. Those planets are composed of rock, carbon, and other inhabitable gasses.
Next, let's talk about the Big Bang Theory (Not the show). This theory was said to have occurred over 13 billion years ago. The most common theory that exists on how the universe came to be that has the most proof. It was thought of in the 1920´s and claims that the Big Bang was thought of how our universe came to be. It is said that 380,000 years after this event light was able to shine into the …show more content…

According to space.com, “Astronomy is the study of the sun, moon, stars, planets, comets, gas, galaxies, gas, dust, and other non-Earthly bodies and phenomena. Astronomers study the stars and other things that are in space. There are two main types of astronomers, the observational astronomers who focus on the study of stars, planets, and galaxies, the second is theoretical astronomers who model and analyze how systems like stars and galaxies may have evolved. There are also seven other types of astronomers. One type is planetary astronomers they focus on the growth, evolution, and death of planets, stellar astronomers who study the stars, solar astronomers study our sun, galactic astronomers study the Milky Way there is another type of astronomer within this and they are called extragalactic astronomers who look outside of the Milky Way to see how these collections of stars form, change and die, cosmologists study the universe how it was created what it was like in the past compared to now, astrometry is the measurement of the sun, moon and planets, and early astronomers who noticed patterns in the sky and attempted to organize them in order to track and predict their

But when the twentieth century was at the gates of new and historical events, that began to change. New discoveries shook the old certainties and paved away for questions about "where the universe came from?". One observation transformed our ideas about the true scale of the universe. It began with a mystery in the sky. By the early part of the twentieth century, it was well known that our solar system lay within a galaxy, the milky way.

Of the three main styles of arguments for the existence of God – the cosmological, the teleological, and the ontological – the teleological is probably the second strongest of these arguments. The teleological argument is also the only one of these arguments that reasons to its conclusion inductively. This means that, unlike the cosmological and ontological arguments, the acceptance of the premises of the teleological argument does not commit you to the acceptance of its conclusion. It only commits you to a judgement about the probability of the conclusion. The style of reasoning typically adopted by this method is one that starts from a posteriori observations about our reality, and then reasons a priori – typically through analogy – to the

Astronomy is an ongoing process because as time goes on, people just keep doing more and more with astronomy. For example, astronomy today is very different from the way some ancient civilizations used it. A lot of ancient civilizations used the stars to help them make calendars, help them know what season it was, help them know which way to go, and more. The stars even affected the ancient Egyptian’s religious beliefs. Some of our astronomy is somewhat based on some old astronomy, there’s even a study for how ancient civilizations use astronomy to maybe help us further advance our knowledge on astronomy.

Humans have often wondered how the universe developed into what it is today. For centuries, it has induced religious and scientific discussions and debates, leading famous scientists to trying to discover the enigma which the development of the universe is. One of the most accepted model to represent the evolution of the universe is the big bang theory. “It is an attempt to explain how the universe developed from a very tiny, dense state into what it is today” (Strickland, 2008).

Throughout the 20th century, our views of space have changed. We started thinking about space, with the same way we started thinking about Pythagoras’s theory of how the world is round. Curiosity and rivalry have ignited the space race, but rivalry between United States and Soviet Union has boosted the development of the space race. The Cold War was ongoing so neither of country wanted to lose to each other. Also, this race determined which country was more advanced compared to another.
