2 How Do You Make Sense of it All?
3 Astronomy: A Search for Organization? Stars... Galaxies...
4 Astronomy: A Search for Organization?
5 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? Galaxies, collections of billions of stars assembled and bound by gravity, are a primary unit of Universal structure. Any random deep view of the night sky shows a universe peppered with galaxies each containing hundreds of billions of stars.
6 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? Imagine we are able to travel to a point billions of light years away and look back toward our galaxy... Us?
7 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? Our sun (a star) resides out toward the edge of a thin and flat collection of 100 billion stars the Milky Way Galaxy A distant galaxy similar to our Milky Way The Stars Near Our Sun Associated WWW Link
8 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? The Stars Near Our Sun Associated WWW Link
9 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? The Sun is embedded in the Milky Way (far from the center). We have a myopic perspective. The Milky Way is thin and flat, yet we see a lumpy diffuse band across the sky because of our proximity.

12 Our Galaxy (the Milky Way) in Perspective: How do we fit in? Infrared light penetrates dust better than visible light. An infrared view of the Milky Way reveals the real Galaxy.
13 Astronomy: A Search for Structure? Hierarchical structure in the Universe leads to an extended mailing address... Earth The Solar System (in capital letters) The Milky Way Galaxy The Local Group The Local Supercluster The Universe Implicit in understanding this structure is knowing how far away things actually are... not an easy task!

16 Understanding Structure: Divining Depth Still, we are focusing on phenomenology...
17 Astronomy: A Search for Origins!!! Where did all the structure and organization come from? How did it emerge over time? What were the starting conditions? What physical processes were important? We wish to explain, not just observe.

19 A Five-Minute History of the Universe The Big Bang brings matter, space and time into existence. It happened 13.7 billion years ago.» - a number now known to better than 1 percent! Almost immediately gravity begins to form stars and galaxies. Stars process Hydrogen and Helium into heavier elements like Iron, Calcium, and Oxygen. After 9 billion years of cosmic recycling (4.6 billion years ago) our Sun forms from the ashes for previous generations of stars. The early Universe contained only uniformly distributed Hydrogen and Helium. At the same time system of planets form from debris left in orbit around the Sun. Life originates quickly on Earth. but only becomes complex ½ billion years ago.

34 Overcoming Human Biases Location, Wavelength, and Time to name a few Lecture Notes: Human Biases in Astronomy
35 Human Biases Time A human lifetime is a blink of the eye relative to the timescale of cosmic events. - Going back to that cosmic year, a human lifetime is about 2 one-hundredths of a second.» Stars and galaxies change incredibly slowly by comparison. Astronomers must reconstruct the workings of the Universe from this snapshot view. Lecture Notes: Lookback time

Astronomers must reconstruct the workings of the Universe from this snapshot view. The Astronomer's task is similar to asking an alien anthropologist to reconstruct the intricacies of human relationships and politics from a snapshot of the events happening on Earth at one instant.

This task is similar to reconstructing the intricacies of human relationships and politics from a snapshot of the events happening on Earth at one instant. Astronomers have two powerful tools to address this shortcoming Light travels slowly. A stale view of the universe permits Astronomers to look back in time. Lecture Notes: Lookback time
39 Lookback Time Light takes time to get from one place to another. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 km/s The travel time is instantaneous for most everyday experience where distances are small. Travel time becomes important for more distant objects Light takes just over a second to get to the Moon (400,000 kilometers away). In a year light traverses a distance of a light-year.
40 Lookback Time We get a stale view of the Universe, seeing more distant object as they were in the more distant past. We see the Sun as it was 8.3 minutes ago because the light took 8.3 minutes to traverse the distance from the Sun to the Earth (150 million kilometers). For extremely distant objects, billions of light-years, the light takes billions of years to get here, bringing a view that is billions of years out of date.
