Hubble and the Big Bang

By Paul Kupperberg

Book Overview

Hubble's discovery of the Big Bang is one of the most important in astronomy and physics. It taught us where the universe came from and how it might end. Students will learn how Hubble's early, unprecedented photographs of pulsars served as one of the first clues along the path that led him to the discovery of the Big Bang. Readers will also see how Hubble's discovery opened up new doors to information about the universe.

Customer Reviews

Suitable report material for grades 3-5

Rosen's 'Primary sources of Revolutionary Scientific Discoveries and Theories' set adds an important new contribution to the series with Hubble And The Big Bang, a 64-page survey of both Hubble and his contributions to astronomy. Opening with an introduction to astronomy as a whole, chapters quickly zero in on Hubble's theories and contribution to cosmology and conclude with a summary timeline of events, primary source transcriptions, a bibliography, primary source image list and index. Intriguing color illustrations pepper Hubble And The Big Bang but the text is the meat of this coverage and is suitable report material for grades 3-5. Even more notable is the fact that Hubble is seldom awarded his own in-depth coverage for this age group.
