Where in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?

The Big Bang didn't happen in a place. Space and time were created in the big bang. The Big Bang is a theory to explain universal/spatial expansion.



I think it's easiest to look at the idea this way. Scientists have observed that everything past our local galactic cluster seems to be retreating from us. All observations point to the universe being infinite and roughly uniform in all directions.



If it's expanding at given rate now, chances are it's slowed down. Go back in time, the universe was denser and expanding faster. Rewind the timeline far enough and you'll come to a period when everything was all bunched together in a massive, undiscernable clump. Then, suddenly, Bang!!! Space! And everything in it... which has been spreading out and slowing down (pretty much) ever since.



Try thinking about it like the air expaning in bread as it rises, or in a balloon as it fills. Everything is moving apart from everything. Only the universe has been infinitely large from the get go. It's almost like someone just keeps adding empty space in between everything.



If it helps at all, the center of the big bang for the visible universe was the same place the center of the visible universe always is. Wherever you are. From that point, everything you can see was at some moment in the past gethered together in a lump with infinite density.Where in the night sky is the big bang located?

p.s. it's not a constellationWhere in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?
I don't believe "Big Bang" is a star or constellation. I've heard about the Big Bang Theory saying that the universe started as a big ball of gas taht just exploded and created everything. Maybe you're thinking about the Big Dipper. Go here for more info:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_DipperWhere in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?The BIG bang is suppose to be the ultimate event in history which science explains as the probable cause for the continuous moving apart of the universal elements....i mean like stars and constelations moving farher and farther. I do not believe the big bang came from a particular constelation, because the "bang" is suppose to be big enough to shoot all the stars billions of light years away from where it suppose to have happened, no constelation should be present from that sight in the galaxy. But I think your question is a very good one.... finding where in space the bigbang happened would be a very big event in the history of science....although not as big as the big bang itself.Where in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?
It's in every direction. You just need to be able to see objects about 15 billion light years away...Where in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?It is literally in every direction. The Cosmic Background Radiation is the afterglow of the Big Bang and is all around us. In fact,one of the best ways to determine the early state of the universe is to look closely at this background radiation. Among other things, it is this that has allowed us to figure out that the universe is 13.7 billion years old.Where in the night sky is the big bang located? Ie, in what constellation would it be located?
The Big Bang is located all around us! The Big Bang was the beginning of the universe, and since we live inside the universe it's everywhere. Rid yourself of the idea that the Big Bang (universe) has a center -- it doesn't.
