GEOCENTRIC VS. HELIOCENTRIC
•EARTH centered Universe•All other planets and the Sun revolve around Earth•Was accepted for 1,000s of years
•SUN centered Universe•All planets including Earth revolved around the Sun•Accepted
•Planets still rotate on their axis.•Planets still revolve around the Sun.•Planets’ moons always revolve around their planet.

EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE
•Our SUN is one of trillions of stars in the Universe.
•All the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in the same direction.
•Most planets rotate on their axis in the same direction. (Venus, Uranus & Pluto – Retrograde)
•Most of the planets orbit the Sun in the same plane.

THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
Hubble was first launched on the 24th of April 1990. Today, Hubble has been operation for over 20 years.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has been our eyes on the universe for the last two decades. It has showed us what we thought we knew was impossible, it has showed us natural beauty artists haven't imagined, it has captivated the minds and hearts of millions and is the most recognized observatory ever built.http://youtu.be/zjuyPPTi1q0

BIG BANG THEORY•Most widely accepted theory of the formation of our Universe•All matter was once together and was blown apart by a big explosion•The Universe is still expanding.•Hubble proved this expansion by measuring the movement of galaxies.
