Our class visited the Museum of Natural History on the 26th of October, 2009. We went to the Rose Center first where we saw the Big Bang movie, and we learned that the universe was much denser then it is today. We also learned that when the Bing Bang happened it was full of cosmic energy that then exploded into big chunks of matter that then created the planets and the sun. We then looked at a big timeline explaining the events from the Big Bang to the present day.
After that we looked at the Hall of Meteorites, where we looked at meteors and we learned facts about them. We learned what was the difference between a meteor and a meteorite. We also learned about different kinds of meteorites that have been found in the museum. One of these meteorites was called the Ahnighito. It was found in Greenland and it was named after where it landed. It wieghs in incredible 34 tons and the posts that hold up the meteorite go all the way down to the bedrock. After that we went to the theater to watch a movie called the Journey to the Stars. We learned about brown dwarfs and about the sun. After that, we went home.
The questions I have is, what or who created the Big Bang? My other question I have is, is it possible to destroy the universe?
