Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following were given as evidence supporting the Big Bang Theory?
The red shift in star spectra
Microwave energy across the universe at approximately 3 degrees Kelvin
The abundance of light elements in the universe
a
I only
b
II only
c
I and II only
d
I, II, and III
What has occurred after the Big Bang?
Objects in the universe have reached a critical density.
Objects that were once close together have moved apart as space expanded.
Space expanded without affecting the distances between objects.
Objects that were once close together have expanded apart into already existing space.
Evidence for the Big Bang Theory for the beginning of our universe which is seen by astronomers studying the light which is coming to us from far away quasars and galaxies is that the light is shifted towards the ____________ end of the spectrum in all of those celestial bodies (except the galaxy of Andromeda). This is indicative that those celestial bodies are all (but Andromeda) moving away from us (our point in space).
