Telescopes & the Universe
A Century of Cosmic SurprisesA Century of Cosmic Surprises
Over the past century, the model we use to describe the universe has changed from static to expanding to accelerating. In this workshop we trace some of the questions scientists have asked about the universe, and describe the tools they used to answer those questions. We show how in many cases these led to surprising, unforeseen answers which have shaped our current understanding of the nature of the universe.

How Far Away are “Spiral Nebulae”?
• In 1920, astronomers pondered the distance to the “spiral nebulae.”
Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis debated whether they were within our own Galaxy or outside our Galaxy. The question was settled when Edwin Hubble determined the distance to Andromeda Galaxy.
![Page 14: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tools for answering “How Far Away are Spiral
Nebulae?” Cepheid Variables
• These stars vary in brightness due to pulsations.

Tools for answering “How Far Away are Spiral
Nebulae?” Cepheid Variables
• The period of brightness variation is related to star’s intrinsic luminosity.
• By measuring the observed luminosity, and knowing intrinsic luminosity we can determine distance

Tools for answering “How Far Away are Spiral
Nebulae?” • 100” Telescope at Mt Wilson, CA (1917)
– provided the added aperture and resolution to resolve the stars.
Hubble determined distance to Andromeda to be 800,000 LY(actual distance is 2.8 million LY)

Early observations showed the “nebulae” were red-shifted.
If the spectrum is red-shifted, the galaxy is
A. Moving toward us
B. Moving away from us
C. Standing still

Trivia Question: Which of the following Galaxies is moving
toward us?
A. Pinwheel Galaxy
B. M87 (Giant Elliptical)

Consequence of asking “How Far Away are Spiral
Nebulae?”
• Early observations showed the “nebulae” were red-shifted.– I.e. moving very fast away from us.
• Hubble put together the redshifts with their distances.

Section II
The ‘State’ of the Universe
![Page 22: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Is Universe a “Steady State” or Did it originate from a “Big Bang?”
• Steady State Theory: As universe expands, matter is created. – Creation rate - a few hundred atoms per
year per galaxy• Big Bang: running expansion backwards
leads us to a point of high density and high temperature from which universe originated. (Create everything all at once)
![Page 23: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Inference vs. ObservationLet’s Practice!
1. In 1929 Hubble observed that every galaxy exhibited a red shift proportional to its distance from us.
2. Hoyle proposed a C-field which would have negative pressure to drive the expansion of the universe.
3. In an expanding universe, it would be necessary to create matter at 1 atom/m3/ 109 years to keep density constant.
4. Hubble concluded that all the galaxies were moving away from us at a speed proportional to their distance.
Which is an observation? ☺an Inference? √

Inference ☺ vs. Observation √Which is which among these?
1. A hot big bang would produce radiation, which would be redshifted as the universe expands.
2. The cosmic back-ground was possibly caused by light from distant galaxies scat-tered by galactic dust.
3. The microwave background discov-ered in 1965 was very uniform and coming from all directions.
4. The microwave background produces a perfect black body spectrum at 2.73K
Which represents steady state? @ and big bang? !

Tool for Determining
“Steady State” vs. “Big Bang”
• Penzias and Wilson were using a 20-foot horn detector to make radio observations of the Milky Way.
• Effort to reduce noise in the detector left them with a 3 K residual. But they didn’t know its origin.
![Page 27: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tool for Determining
“Steady State” vs. “Big Bang”
Peebles and Dicke (Princeton) had just calculated an estimate for the temperature of the residual background temperature, and found it was detectable in the microwave region. P & D were convinced P & W had found it.
This solved the Steady State vs Big Bang question.

Section III
Determining the Fate of the Universe
![Page 30: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How Fast is the Expansion Slowing Down?
• Saul Perlmutter (UC Berkeley) wanted to determine the deceleration rate of the expansion.
• Amount of deceleration depends on average mass density.– So we’d be “weighing the universe”
• This would lead to determining the fate of the universe - expand forever, or contract.
![Page 31: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tools for Determining “How Fast is the Expansion
Slowing Down?”
• Compare a galaxy’s measured distance with its redshift.
• Get distance by comparing observed and intrinsic luminosity of an object in the galaxy.
Enter Supernovae!(But we need a special kind of supernova)

A dying star becomes a white dwarf.
1. Create a White Dwarf
![Page 33: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The white dwarf strips gas from its stellar companion….
2. Dump more mass onto it

….and uses it to become a hydrogen bomb. Bang!
3. Until it explodes
![Page 35: NASA/NSTA Web Seminar Series How Telescopes Have Changed Our View of the Universe A Century of Cosmic Surprises Presenter: Dr. James Lochner Tuesday, December.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1f5503460f94c372b9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The explosion is as bright as an entire galaxy of stars….…..and can be seen in galaxies across the universe.
4. Observe it in a distant galaxy

Dark Energy is an Unfinished Story
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS!
But this story of our understanding of the nature of the universe illustrates the process of science.– Science is alive and on-going.– Our ideas change as the data changes.– Scientific debate differs from social/political debate.– Progress in science results from both individual and
group efforts.

Other Themes in Cosmic Times
• Our understanding of the Expansion of the Universe
• Nature of Supernovae• The size and scale of the Universe
