What did we do in each exhibit?
We saw a movie. In the building we walked down the cosmic pathway. It had different years of events from 13 million years ago to today. During the movie, it showed us how the universe was like one second after the Big Bang Thoery. It also explained how the universe different then it was an hour after the Big Bang then today. In the Rose Center we went to the Cullman Hall of the Universe. In the Cullman Hall of the Universe, they had exhibits on planets and asteroids, meteres, meteroites, etc.
3 things that i learned:
1. After the Big Bang the Earth remained dark for several million years
2. Most of meteroites that hit Earth are wayward fragments from the asteroid bolt.
3. Meteroites provide information on the history of our solar system, we can learn details about how our solar system envolved into the sun and planets of today.
2 questons:
How old is my body?
What can we predict something about a meteor by just looking at it?
