The Milky Way: stars are not distributed isotropically around us: we live in a galaxy

Andromeda Galaxy: similar to what Milky Way would look like from outside
Galaxies: Size ~ 1022 cm ~ 60,000 light-years Mass ~ 1 trillion Msun
Self-gravitating systems of stars, gas, and dark matter

Coma Cluster: `constellation’ of many galaxies
Clusters of Galaxies: Size ~ few Million light years Mass ~ 1 quadrillion (1000 x 1 trillion) Msun

Large-scale Structure
The Universe contains a hierarchy of structure, from people to planets, stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and larger structures (filaments, voids, walls).
Where did all this structure come from? How did it form?
![Page 12: Probing The Dark Universe Josh Frieman Fermilab & The University of Chicago Link to Learn, May, 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d795503460f94a5c8ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Large-scale Structure
The Universe contains a hierarchy of structure, from people to planets, stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and larger structures.
Where did all this structure come from? How did it form? What happened in the Universe’s earliest moments?What is it made of?

Cosmic Microwave Background
Universe at 400,000 years
These tiny fluctuations in temperatureand density evolved under gravity to form all the structure we see today
Galaxies today
Early Universe was relatively smooth (small ripples in CMB).Present Universe is lumpy (galaxies, large-scale structure)

Does the expansion of the Universe change over time?
Gravity:
everything in the Universe attracts everything else
the expansion of the Universe should slow downover time

They indicate that expansion is speeding up, not slowing
Supernovae: Exploding Stars

What causes Cosmic Speed-up?
Two possibilities:
1. The Universe is filled with stuff that gives rise to `gravitational repulsion’. We now call this
Dark Energy
2. Einstein’s theory of General Relativity (gravity) is wrong on cosmic distance scales.

Everything we can see -- people, plants, planets, stars (stuff made of atoms)… – makes up only 5 % of the universe.

• Dark Energy Camera mounted on a Telescope Simulator at Fermilab in Illinois in early 2011
• We will ship it to Chile this summer and use it to survey 300 million galaxies over 5 years.
