16. BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
This final chapter takes a look at space Beyond Our Solar System, beginning with stellar
classification and evolution. The chapter then discusses interstellar matter, nebulae, galaxies,
cosmology, and Hubble’s contributions to this field. The conclusion of this chapter and the textbook
is a discussion of the culmination of the scientific method and the physical world: the Big Bang
theory.
CHAPTER OUTLINE

16.2 STELLAR EVOLUTION
a. Stellar Birth
b. Protostar Stage
c. Main-Sequence Stage
d. Red Giant Stage
e. Burnout and Death
i. Death of low-mass stars
ii. Death of intermediate-mass (Sun-like) stars
iii. Death of massive stars
16.3 STELLAR REMNANTS
a. White Dwarfs
b. Neutron Stars
c. Black Holes
16.4 GALAXIES AND GALAXY CLUSTERS
a. Types of Galaxies
i. Spiral galaxies
ii. Elliptical galaxies
iii. Irregular galaxies
b. Galaxy Clusters
c. Galactic Collisions
16.5 THE UNIVERSE
a. How Large Is It?
i. Edwin Hubble’s discovery
166
, ii. What does light tell us about the size of the universe?
b. A Brief History of the Universe
i. The Big Bang Theory
ii. The first stars
c. Evidence for an Expanding Universe
d. Predictions of the Big Bang theory
e. What Is the Fate of the Universe?
i. Dark matter
ii. Dark energy
LEARNING OBJECTIVES/FOCUS ON CONCEPTS
Each statement represents the primary learning objective for the corresponding major heading
within the chapter. After completing the chapter, students should be able to:
16.1: Define cosmology and describe Edwin Hubble’s most significant discovery about the
universe.
16.2: Define main-sequence star. Explain the criteria used to classify stars as giants.
16.3: List and describe the stages in the evolution of a typical Sun-like star.
16.4: Compare and contrast the final state of Sun-like stars to the remnants of the most massive
stars.
16.5: List the three major types of galaxies. Explain the formation of large elliptical galaxies.
16.6: Describe the Big Bang theory. Explain what it tells us about the universe.
TEACHING STRATEGIES
The Big Bang theory is another fantastic, albeit complex, tool with which to teach the scientific
method. Because understanding the Big Bang requires a fundamental comprehension of
complex physics, and this book is used in an introductory Earth Science course, an approach to
teaching the Big Bang theory in this chapter is to look at a few pieces of it in the context of the
scientific method. Probably the best pieces for this exercise are observations of predictions
made by the theory itself. As in: the model predicts a behavior and an experiment is done to see
if the effect can be observed.
o The distance a galaxy is away from us should be proportional to its red shift.
o The farther away a galaxy or cluster is, the higher its apparent velocity and its red shift.
o If things are farther away today, they must have been closer in the past.
o Why do spiral galaxies seem to be moving away from us?
