1. Some of the stars die with a great explosion called a super nova

2. The steady state theory was proven wrong because the universe is constantly expanding.

3. Brown dwarfs/red dwarfs/yellow/blue giant/red giant

3.1. blue are short live as they burn their fuel up quickly

4. the first mission to Venus was in 1962, it did a fly by and measured tempratures

5. What sound waves are and how to figure out wavelength and frequency.

6. Stars appear different colours based on size and energy

7. Solar system

7.1. Each planet has their moons and they are not necessarily close to them

8. Stars

8.1. some stars are...

8.2. Some stars are red

8.3. Stars go through a main sequence stage

8.4. Stars cango through a variety of changes

9. theories - steady state - big bang

9.1. theories: steady state big bang

10. B = 1

10.1. Mr Bohni's Constant

11. Aliens

11.1. We communicate with aliens with signs and symbols on probes.

11.2. We've sent pictures of where our solar system is from the closest quazars...

12. I learnt that there are signs of previous life on Mars.

12.1. I learnt what the conditons on other planets are like.

13. The Russians don't like Venus very much.

14. Dark Energy

14.1. most of the universe

14.2. driving expansion to go faster

15. Space crafts

15.1. Sputnick - 1956

15.1.1. Sputnick 2 1957 - this space craft had a dog on it!

15.2. Vostok 1 1961 ( first manned mission into space)

15.3. The moon landing was in 1996

15.4. 1965 Verana 3

16. Transverse waves- oscillations are perpendicluar to the motion. Longitudinal waves- oscillations are in the same direction of motion

17. Pulsaras can tell you how far away obects are in the universe, based on different frequencies of light they emmit

18. I learned about the wave nature properties of light. The difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

18.1. transverse-light

18.2. longitudinal-sound

18.3. "neeeeeeeeeerrrrooowww" (the Doppler affect)

19. Dark Matter

20. red shift/ blue shift

20.1. red=moving away

20.2. blue=moving towards us

21. Edwin Hubble Hubbles Tuning Fork

22. Edwin Hubble Hubbles Tuning Fork

23. F= 1/T

23.1. T=1/F

24. upside down y =5m v=upside down yF

24.1. U mean lamda

24.2. U mean lambda
