investigate the different possible shapes of space-closed,flat and open.
Closed: A Closed universe is high enough mass the universe will decrease and all gravitational pull will pull to the centre like our planet earth and everything will become superheated and a supernova will happen all over again.
Flat: A Flat universe is when the universe will never expand nor reverse.
Open: A Open universe is a low enough mass for the universe to exapnd forever and never stop expanding.

The Dopper Effect is the change of freaquency and wavelength. An example of it is when and ambulance with the siren on is coming towards you and its a really high pitch sound but when it passes you the pitch lowers and the further it moves away the lower the pitch will be and everntually the sound will stop.
The Red Shift is when the stars and galaxies are moving futher away from earth and faster. This means the universe is expanding and growing.
The Big Bang is when the universe blew up in all different directions from a single point forming the universe we have today.

Research more about the Hubble Space Telescope. Gather information about
a) Hubble’s involvement in space research
His involments in the space reasearch was that he discovered that the universe was expanding and he was the first man to make this discovery.
b) What the space telescope do
Its an powerful orbiting telescope that gives clear and more sharper images than regular telescopes would do. Also its an light gathering mirror. Its is named after Edwin Hubble. The images that were found by this amazing telescope were stars, planets and much more.
c) Where it is
The Hubble space telescope can be found just above the Earth orbiting it and getting good quality images for scienctist.
d) What Hubble’s constant is
The further away stars and galxies are the faster they are going and that means the universe is exapanding.
