Question

which of hubble’s findings supported the big bang theory? check all that apply. galaxies that are closest to ours are moving more quickly than those located farther away. galaxies tend to move toward each other. there are billions of galaxies in the universe, not just one. the universe formed from a central point. most galaxies in the universe are moving away from earth.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "Galaxies that are closest to ours are moving more quickly than those located farther away": This is incorrect. Hubble's law states that more distant galaxies move away faster.
• "Galaxies tend to move toward each other": Incorrect. Most galaxies are moving away from each other (and from Earth).
• "There are billions of galaxies in the universe, not just one": Hubble's observations showed the universe has many galaxies (not just the Milky Way - centered view), supporting the idea of a vast, expanding universe consistent with Big Bang.
• "The universe formed from a central point": Hubble's findings (expanding universe) are consistent with the Big Bang's idea of a universe originating from a singularity (central point - like origin).
• "Most galaxies in the universe are moving away from Earth": Hubble's observations showed redshift in most galaxies, meaning they are moving away, supporting the expanding universe (a key Big Bang evidence).

Answer:

C. There are billions of galaxies in the universe, not just one
D. The universe formed from a central point
E. Most galaxies in the universe are moving away from Earth
