The cornerstone of the big bang theory is the Hubble diagram. It tells us that recessional velocities increase linearly with distance. In other words, the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is receding. The points of the graph, however, do not lie in a perfectly straight line; there...
decrease in the energy of the light brought about by the reduction of the frequency of the light wave, and the evolution in the luminosity of galaxies with time since the big bang. The deviation from linearity also depends on the density parameter that discriminates ...
galaxies observed directly, when averaged over cosmological distances, is estimated to be only a few percent of the amount required to close the universe. However, thedark matterthat has been deduced from various dynamic arguments is about 23 percent of the universe, anddark energysupplies the ...
The observational discovery of barred galaxies atz > 2 (ref.19), such as ceers-2112, has strong implications for our understanding of galaxy evolution, in particular, in the first gigayears after the Big Bang. On the one hand, it implies that dynamically cold stellar disks could have f...
The so-called impossibly early galaxy problem, first identified with the Hubble Space Telescope [47, 48], has been greatly exacerbated by other recent James Webb Space Telescope discoveries of galaxies with spectroscopically confirmed redshifts up to z∼14.32 and several others with (less ...
Magnetic fields are fundamental to the evolution of galaxies, playing a key role in the astrophysics of the interstellar medium and star formation. Large-scale ordered magnetic fields have been mapped in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies1,2, but it is not known how early in the Universe such...
Experiment tells us that photons of light from distant galaxies have a longer wavelength on arrival than when they set off. Since red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, we say that they have been 'redshifted'. The Theory of the Expanding Universe explains this as space expanding...
The galaxies are moving away from Earth because the fabric of space itself is expanding. While galaxies themselves are on the move — theAndromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way, for example, are on a collision course— there is an overall phenomenon of redshift happening as the universe gets bigg...
The discoveries of Edwin Hubble have promoted an excellent understanding of the universe. In this light, Hubble`s discoveries entail real structures present in the universe, such as galaxies. Also, the discoveries of Edwin assist scientists in having answers to various scientific inquiries....
