• investigating faraway galaxies.

• investigating the size of Venus.

• predicting the phases of the moon.

Which of these is an unpiloted spacecraft designed to gather information while orbiting planets other than Earth?

What scientific observation did Edwin Hubble use to determine distances between galaxies?

• As the light source passes Earth, the wavelength increases as the frequency increases.

• As the light source moves toward Earth, the wavelength decreases as the frequency increases.

• As the light source moves away from Earth, the wavelength increases as the frequency decreases.

• As the light source affects the gravity of Earth, the wavelength decreases as the frequency decreases.
