Which of the following about main-sequence stars is FALSE?

For main-sequence stars, bluer stars typically have the longest lifespan

Main-sequence stars always fuse hydrogen

When a main-sequence star runs out of hydrogen, the core contracts and moves off the main-sequence

For main-sequence stars, the hotter the temperature the more massive the star is

Why do younger stars typically live in the spiral arms of galaxies?

The rotation of the spiral arms produces newer stars

Galaxies acquire mass and grow in size, so younger stars form towards the outside

Younger stars are produced in the center but pushed out to the spiral arms

Younger stars need a lot of room in space to form

HI Clouds can be detected from...

21 cm radio line produced by spin-flip transitions

Scientists can hypothesize what happens in a black hole by....

By uniting general relativity and quantum mechanics

We have structures like the ones in the picture due to gravitational collapse, but the luminous mass we see doesn't seem to be enough to create these structures. How then could they form?

Extra gravitational force from dark matter

Primordial black holes started structure formation

There used to be more matter that has since been destroyed

Which of these is NOT evidence of dark matter?

Galaxies in clusters seem to be moving fast enough to escape the cluster but they don't

Galaxy clusters don't seem to have enough luminous mass to contain their hot gas

We see evidence of gravitational lensing

The Milky Way's rotation curve is flat

From lecture 24, we learned that when it was discovered that the Universe was expanding, Einstein conceded his notion. What was his notion?

That the Universe is collapsing

That the nature of the Universe is unknowable

That the Universe was vibrating

How did the CMB go from being infrared radiation when it first appeared to the microwave radiation we see today?

The edge of the Universe cooled down

What happened to the early Universe's quantum fluctuations that solidified upon inflation?

They became the seeds of superclusters

They became primordial black holes

They became the first globular clusters

The Universe is infinite, so how come we can only see out to about 13.8 billion lightyears?

Anything beyond that point is receding faster than the speed of light

There's a "wall" there of radiation, formed before the Universe became transparent

The Universe is infinite, but nothing has formed at those distances yet

Dark energy blots out anything farther away than 13.8 billion light years

What makes the rings in these disks?

The disks formed with those rings

What type of exoplanet tends to be easiest to detect with the transiting and radial velocity methods?

Large ones close to their host star

Small ones far from their host star

Small ones close to their host star

Large ones far from their host star

We're fairly certain about some factors in the Drake equation, but uncertain about others. Rank these in order of certainty, from least to most certain.
