How much light years is the distance if Proxima Centauri from us:

How many types of galaxies are there? Write names.

Scientists MOST likely prefer to use the Hubble Space Telescope instead of a land-based telescope because it provides better accuracy at

• predicting solar eclipses.

• 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?

• space probe

• space shuttle

• space station

• space telescope

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.
