Welcome to shuttle JBC830!

Let us discover the Mysteries of Deep Space. Are you ready for our space launch? Okay, close and lock your visor then sit back and enjoy the ride!

The Milky Way galaxy is so vast that

it takes 70,000 years for light to travel from one end to the other and its stars number a hundred billion - yet it's just one of billions like it. What are the limits to the universe? And what does the universe look like? Nearly 70 years after astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is far larger than ever imagined - and growing ever larger - the

space telescope that bears his name has

opened a stunning new window into deep space.

In this tour, you will be encountering vast information about our universe, our galaxy, our solar system, and our very own planet- EARTH . Take note all the important information you will find in your journal. A lot of tasks awaits you in every station of the tour. Open your eyes and ears to uncover the mysteries of the deep space. Finally, when you come back to Earth, you will answer series of questions to demonstrate what you have learned in this space tour like Where did our own Solar System come from? Is our sun just an accident? Are the precisely balanced orbits of its moons and planets merely the result of random explosions and outer space traffic jams? Is it all the result of haphazard chance? a jumbled series of gigantic accidents?

JOURNAL

INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS EVALUATION CONCLUSION CREDITS / REFERENCES TEACHERS PAGE

For thousands of years philosophers, theologians and scientists have debated the question of the origin of the universe. From the time of the early Greek philosophers this debate has revolved around two basic questions. First, is the universe eternal and therefore "uncaused," or did the universe have a beginning in time and space? Second, if the universe did begin at a finite point in time and space, was it created by an outside cause, or did it create itself? If the universe was "caused to exist" by an outside intelligence then there are enormous philosophical and religious implications for us as inhabitants of the cosmos.

To find out the answer go to

THE ORIGINS OF THE UNIVERSE

Exactly how galaxies are created has puzzled the worlds leading astronomies and physicists for decades but recently they found evidence of what could be an important clue- the discovery of super massive black hole. At first they thought only few galaxies have it, but then to their surprise they found that thing in almost every galaxy they had studied. They found out that even our very galaxy, Milky Way also has this super massive black hole in its center. Was the Universe born with black hole?
WHAT IS IT? WAS UNIVERSE BORN WITH BLACK HOLE?

Now that youre already familiar with the theories of how universe existed, let us continue our tour. Our next stop will in the Milky Way. How does it looks like? Where is our place in our galaxy?

Youve made it! Youve just found our place in the universe! We will now be heading back to our solar system. We will be exploring the sun, the nine planets and its moons. Let us begin with the SUN- the center of our solar system.
