The Big Bang theory is a cornerstone of modern cosmology, and although astronomers cannot directly observe the birth of the universe, the theory is widely accepted because it makes concrete predictions of the current observable universe, which have been tested repeatedly with striking success. Supporting the Next Generation Science Standards' emphasis on scientific collection and analysis of data and evidence-based theories, this book will help students understand the observational evidence supporting the Big Bang theory and speculate on the ultimate fate of the universe it implies."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The beginning of the beginning -- From nucleons to galaxies -- Hubble's expanding universe -- Observational evidence for the Big Bang -- Related issues in cosmology -- The fate of the universe. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Hubble, Edwin 650 0 $a Big bang theory 650 0 $a Expanding universe 650 0 $a Cosmology 941 $a 2 952 $l 3HSX245 $d 20231214011117.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20181116011304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A96F962E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
