For years, astronomers struggled to calculate the age of the universe. Estimates ranged from 10 to 20 billion years old, a frustratingly large spread. But that was before the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, named after the astronomer whose discovery 70 years ago began the quest to learn...

FAQ: How Do We Calculate the Number of Atoms in the Universe? How many atoms are estimated to be in the observable universe? It is estimated that there are around 1080 atoms in the observable universe. This number is derived from calculations based on the estimated number of galaxies, stars...
Gravity is based on an object's mass and your distance from the center. When you're on the surface of a planet, you can use the planet's radius to calculate your distance from the center. If you compare the mass of the moon to the earth's, you will find that the moon's mass is...
Answer to: How do we calculate the distances to stars? What units do we use, and what are the limitations (if any) of the method used for such...
But you can't just weigh something the size of a galaxy – you have to find its mass by other methods. One method is to measure the light intensity, or luminosity. The more luminous a galaxy, the more mass it possesses. Another approach is to calculate the rotation of a galaxy's ...
As a result of these criteria, many stand-alone graduate schools, including Rockefeller University in New York and the University of California San Francisco, were eligible to be ranked and were included in the ranking universe. The second step was to calculate the rankings using the 13 indicat...
microwave background(CMB), a relic of the very first light to shine after the big bang, as a sort of cosmic baby picture. We can take that light and use our models of the universe’s evolution to calculate what it ought to look like now, which gives one measurement of the Hubble ...
Cooling of the Sun– In 1856, the German physicist Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz attempted to calculate the age of the Earth by the cooling of the Sun. He calculated that the Sun would have taken22 million yearsto condense down to its current diameter and temperature from a diffuse ...
