$400 Question Through observation of the relative abundance of the elements in the universe, scientists developed the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis to account for the evolution of all of the elements in the Periodic Table. According to this theory, the process occurs A. In outer space because of the lack of atmospheric pressure. B. On the surface of stars because of the combination of heat from fission and the expansion of gasses into empty space. C. Between stars and binary star systems. D. In the interior of stars from many different types of nuclear reactions and ejected into space as stars reach the ends of their lives.

$100 Answer According to the Big Bang Theory, about 15 billion years ago, from nothingness, very dense matter smaller than a period exploded into what would become stars, planets and galaxies.

$200 Question In 1912, American astronomer Vesto Slipher observed that every spiral galaxy he observed had a red shift spectrum and is therefore receding from our galaxy.
