Ted Barr's presentation discusses the origins and formation of the universe, detailing the Big Bang and the creation of galaxies. It describes various galaxy types, including spiral, ring, and elliptical galaxies, and highlights notable examples like the Andromeda and Pinwheel galaxies. The presentation also covers nebulae, their significance in star formation, and concludes with a teaser for future exhibitions.

- 2. The Origin of The Universe • Our known universe exists billion years • It started in The Big Bang which echoes through space till nowadays Barr 2007
- 3. The Formation of Galaxies • The first galaxies were created 100 million years after the big bang • The current knowledge speaks about more than billion galaxies in the universe. Barr 2007
- 4. Types of Galaxies • There are five basic types of galaxies. In the upcoming slides we will view some of them. Barr 2006
- 5. Spiral Galaxy • The Pinwheel Galaxy is located 27,000,000 ly from Earth. In the direction of the constellation Ursa Major. • It’s diameter is 170,000 ly. Hubble 2006
- 6. Spiral Galaxy • The Pinwheel Galaxy is located 27,000,000 ly from Earth. In the direction of the constellation Ursa Major. • It’s diameter is 170,000 ly. Barr 2007
- 7. Ring Galaxy • The Hoag galaxy is located 600,000,000 ly. In the constellation Serpens. • Ring galaxies are formed when a smaller galaxy passes through the center of a larger galaxy. Hubble 2006
- 8. Ring Galaxy Barr 2003
- 9. Andromeda Spiral Galaxy • The Andromeda Is located 2,500,000 ly from us and its our closest neighbour. • the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are approaching one another at a speed of 120 kilometers per second. in about 2.5 billion years the the two galaxies will likely merge to form a giant elliptical galaxy. Hubble 2006
- 10. Elliptical Galaxy • NGC 5253 is an irregular elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus • the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are approaching one another at a speed of 120 kilometers per second. in about 2.5 billion years the the two galaxies will likely merge to form a giant elliptical galaxy. Hubble 2006
- 11. Elliptical Galaxy Barr 2003
- 12. Lenticular Galaxy • The Spindle Galaxy lies in the Northern constellation Draco, at a distance of 44 million light-years. • It has a diameter of roughly 60,000 light-years only two-thirds the diameter of the Milky Way, although its mass is similar to our galaxy. Hubble 2006
- 13. HH47 • 5 billion km of star dust. Barr 2007
- 14. Nebula • A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas and plasma. It is the first stage of a star's cycle. • Hubble 2006
- 15. Nebula Barr 2007
- 16. The Horse Head Nebula Hubble 2006
- 17. The Horse Head Nebula • The Horse Head Nebula is called Barnard 33 and is part of the constellation Orion. • It is located 1,500 ly from Earth. Barr 2007
- 18. The Eagle Nebula • Three enormous pillars of old gases and dust. • The longest of the pillars is 1 ly in length • Hubble 1995
- 19. The Eagle Nebula Barr 2001
- 20. Eta Carinae Nebula • The largest star forming region in the Milky Way Barr 2008
- 21. The Tarantula Nebula • Located in the large magellanic cloud. • It is located 180,000 ly from Earth. Barr 2008
- 22. The never ending story of the universe is to be continued in the next exhibition. Ted Barr 2008
