Why do you think people today curious to know about the secrets of distant stars and galaxies and the beginning of the universe?
People today are curious about the stars and galaxy’s because they want to find out how they work, and how they ended up being on the earth. They have sent a drone or something which has taken 9 years to reach the planet, and covered about 5 billion kilometers.
How do scientists know about other galaxies?
The most distant galaxies are caught up in the expansion of the Universe, causing distant galaxies to redshift past the point where our optical and near-infrared telescopes (like Hubble) could detect them.
What is the relationship between stars and galaxies?
A galaxy is a collection of billions of stars, gas, and dust. Our solar system is one of millions of solar systems found in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Galaxies are held together by gravitational attraction,much like a solar system. Billions of stars make up our galaxy, including our sun.
How were galaxies different in the very early universe?
Galaxies in the early universe were far more active on average than our Milky Way. We group most massive galaxies (roughly the size of the Milky Way or larger) in the nearby universe into two general classes: “late-type” spirals (like our galaxy and M31) and “early-type” ellipticals (like M87).
What makes you curious about the universe?
Their innate curiosity drives them to explore their space in order to understand the rules that govern the world around them. As the breadth of our scientific knowledge expands, we continually seek to learn more about the universe and the multitude of secrets that it holds just beyond our understanding.
Do you think the earth was created suddenly or it was formed by long drawn and complex processes?
yes, The earth was created by long drawn complex processes anftakes long time to cool down the surface. As we all know that earth forms by big bang theory. In which at a point all the matter in the universe is in a highly condensed state then there was a big explosion and led to the formation of our solar system.
Who discovered the black hole?
Karl Schwarzschild
The first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole was found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, and its interpretation as a region of space from which nothing can escape was first published by David Finkelstein in 1958.
What do you think is causing the expansion of the universe and the directional movement of galaxies from one another?
Galaxies rotate around their centers with the sections of the galaxy that are farther out from the galaxy’s center rotating more slowly than the material closer to the center. Galaxies are also moving away from each other due to the expansion of the Universe brought on by the Big Bang.
What has science got to do with curiosity?
Tell us what you found and why science has been so intrigued by this. Livio: If you’re a curious person, then you ought to also be curious about curiosity itself. This has been research by psychologists, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists. There are two parts to this. One is to understand our state of mind when we are curious.
How do astronomers know the universe is expanding?
How do astronomers know the universe is expanding? Studying the wavelengths of light emitted by stars to see how far away they are and how fast they move All known elements emit and absorb particular wavelengths of light, which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Does genetics play a role in the development of curiosity?
But, as in all cases, genetics is never the whole story. In the same way as nature versus nurture question, the two of them play a role. You can enhance curiosity by doing certain things, by asking questions, by encouraging people to be curious about things.
Do we really lose our curiosity as we grow up?
Some people think that as we grow up we lose our curiosity, and that’s not entirely true. We do lose some elements of diversive curiosity or the ability to be surprised. But actually epistemic curiosity, that love of knowledge, appears to be roughly constant across all ages.
