What types of nebulae exist in the universe?

The types of nebulae that exist in the universe include bright, dark and emission nebulae. Different nebulae are often named for their shape. More information can be found on "Sea and Sky".


Many scientists believe that the universe was created as a rapid expansion of all the matter in the universe from an extremely compressed state to the expanding universe you have today with all the pl?

Yes, that is correct. For more information, read online sources (for example, the Wikipedia) about the topic "Big Bang".

How did Edwin hubble reach his conclusion that the universe is expanding?

Hubble analysed the spectra that are emitted by various astronomical objects (stars and galaxies, etc.) and found that the more distant these objects are, the more these spectra were red shifted. A red shift is caused by the Doppler effect, and it indicates that a source of radiation is moving away from us, and the greater the red shift, the faster the velocity with which it is moving away. So if everything is moving away from us, and moving faster the farther away it is, that indicates an expanding universe.


Explain the movement and location of objects in the universe or their composition e g red shift blue shift line spectra?

The universe is expanding, as a result both of the Big Bang (some thirteen and a half billion years ago) and also what appears to be pressure exerted by what is known as dark energy (which is to say, some kind of energy which we have a great deal of difficulty in directly observing). Because of this expansion, distant objects (beyond our local galactic cluster) are moving away from us, and the more distant they are, the faster they are moving away. This receding motion creates a red shift (that is, a shift to longer wavelengths) in their spectra, known as a Doppler shift. If they were approaching rather than receding, the shift would be toward the blue (shorter wavelengths).
