• Explain in detail how red shift occurs, also metioning the Doppler effect.  

D5:

• Describe the Big Bang theory.  
• Explain how Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) provides evidence for the Big Bang theory. Include the radiation mapping of the COBE satellite in your article. 
• Explain how Red Shift provides evidence for the Big Bang theory.
• Describe the Steady State theory of the origin of the Universe.
• Compare the Big Bang theory to the Steady State theory.

Remember, a magazine article should be interesting to read and should contain some photos and diagrams to help illustrate your points.
