    with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis and an observation by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies. The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter between 100,000 and 180,000 lightyears.

    The whole universe began with the big bang/big bang model which explains the theory holding that in just a couple seconds the universe originated, from the instant explosion of a extremely small nebulae. Approximately 15 billion years ago all matter in the universe today existed in an incredibly hot and dense state, from which it expanded and cooled slowly coalescing into stars and galaxies we have today. As the big bang was taking place only the lightest of elements would be able to form (hydrogen

    and our Asteroid Belt. Some of the universe's natural phenomenons are yet to be discovered. This article will explain some of them and why they happen. In the year 1929, Edwin Hubble made a revolutionary discovery. He learned that the universe is expanding. He saw that the galaxies were each moving away from us. Edwin knew that for one instance of time, almost 14 billion years ago, all of the mass of the universe was contained in a single spot. There had to have been a huge explosion that pushed

    For millennia, no human being even dared conceive the idea that other galaxies could exist. It wasn’t until 1920, when Edwin Hubble first looked to the stars, that we finally realized how insignificant we truly are. Yet, these galaxies did not render into existence once Hubble gazed upon them, they were always there, endlessly accelerating upon the black backdrop of the cosmos. In this way, the truth is much like the history of galaxies. For example, the NSA began spying on Americans late in 2001

    Einstein’s theory of relativity gave us a better understanding of gravity and Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving apart from one another in a way that fits previous predictions. In 1964 by accident cosmic background radiation was discovered in relic of the early universe, which together with other observational evidence made the big bang the accepted theory in science. Since then improved technology in science like the Hubble telescope has given us a pretty good picture of the big bang and the
