Three methods for the observation of the Big Bang with our school telescopeHans-Otto Carmesin1,2,3, •Ben Joshua Helmcke1, Paul Brüning1, and Lennert Sprenger11Gymnasium Athenaeum, Stade — 2Studienseminar Stade — 3Universität Bremen

Usually telescope based research on the Big Bang is performed by the application of huge telescopes like the Hubble-Space-Telescope. But in our work we propose three methods for Big Bang observation, which are applied with an 11 inch telescope in our school observatory. The first method is based on the redshift. We are using the redshift to calculate the velocity of the galaxies in the framework of the Doppler effect. From the Hubble-diagram, we then can get the age of the universe by doing a regression. The second method we used is based on a comparison of our telescope with the Hubble-Space-Telescope. For the third method we use supernovae. Here we are comparing the brightness of a galaxy with and without a supernova. The results show that the observation of the Big Bang is also possible with a much smaller telescope than e.g. the Hubble-Space-Telescope.
