Exploring the Mysteries of the Universe

What is the primary focus of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the ISS?

• To observe planets and stars

• To explore the surface of Mars

• To study the balance of matter and antimatter

• To measure the speed of light

What percentage of the universe is made up of observable matter?

• More than 95%

• Approximately 75%

• Less than 5%

• About 50%

How does AMS-02 help in detecting potential dark matter interactions?

• By measuring the temperature of stars

• By categorizing cosmic rays and analyzing their spectra

• By observing the movement of planets

• By capturing images of black holes

Why do antimatter particles stand out when passing through AMS-02's magnetic field?

• They emit a bright light

• They become invisible

• Their paths bend in the opposite direction compared to matter particles

• They move faster than light

What was a significant maintenance effort conducted on AMS-02 to extend its operational life?

• Installing new cameras

• Replacing its cooling pumps

• Upgrading its computer systems

• Replacing its solar panels
