The Big Bang theory is currently the most popular scientific theory for the origin of the universe. It describes how the universe emerged from an enormously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago and how the universe is still expanding from that point. This theory helps scientists explain the formation of all the galaxies, stars, and planets.
Gravity is the most powerful and exacting force in the universe. It binds us together, its reach hangs stars in the sky and its grip crushes light. Without gravity, stars, comets, moons, nebulae, and even the Earth itself would not exist. Explore how science and humanity discovered, overcame, and utilized gravity. Learn what it takes to propel objects into the heavens, to ride a wave, or to ski down a slope. Take a front row seat as an astronaut subjects himself to the weightless wonders of the specially modified aircraft used to train astronauts known as the "Vomit Comet."
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. Manuel, Gabi and Leo land in a planet where they discover that they are much stronger than on Earth. Maqui explains the difference in strength is due to the change in gravity. The kids learn about gravity throughout the universe.
Carl Pennypacker at UC Berkeley runs Universe Quest, a summer program supported by the National Science Foundation to engage girls in science exploration. Some of the summer activities include: looking through a world-class telescope, going out to the beach to measure tides, and designing online games.

Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. The kids arrive at a planet to ask for directions on how to get to Earth. While visiting the planet, the friends learn that its inhabitants believe the entire universe revolves around this planet. With the help of Maqui, the friends explain that planets revolve around their suns. Everyone learns the difference between the geocentric theory and the heliocentric theory.
The Hubble Space Telescope, flawed when launched in 1990 and repaired in 1993, helps scientists study the universe. Highlights Hubble from design, construction, and repair to a range of spectacular images taken from beyond earth's atmosphere.
Today's telescopes study the sky across the electromagnetic spectrum. Each part of the spectrum tells scientists different things about the universe, giving them more pieces of the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. The most powerful telescopes on the ground and in space have joined forces over the last decade in a unique observing campaign, known as the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, or GOODS, which reaches across the spectrum and deep back into cosmic time.
