THE UNIVERSE:
A vast region filled up with trillions of celestial objects
like galaxies made up of stars, nebula's, planets, gas clusters, dust and
comets.
The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field image shows some of the most remote galaxies visible with present technology, each consisting of billions of stars. (Apparent area about 1/79 that of a full moon) |

The expanding universe’ investigates the expansion of the Universe |
‘The expanding Universe’ investigates the expansion of the
Universe. Hubble's red shift-distance relationship had already been explained
by Einstein's general relativity. General relativity identified gravity as a
result of curvatures in space-time. Einstein's theory suggests many possible
universes, but none of them are static. The Universe is expanding from the Big
Bang, and its age is currently estimated at 14bn-years. The mediocrity of the
Milky Way is based on a small sample, but increasing this sample allows us to
calculate the Hubble Constant. Combining this with the estimated distance of
remote supernovae has required the addition of a cosmological constant, which
represents dark energy, the driving force behind universal expansion.
