It is winter in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
It is summer in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
It is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.

Big Dipper
Litter Dipper
Ursa Major
Ursa Minor
Based on the illustration, which of these statements is false?
An observer located to the left of the star in the illustration would see a blue shifting in the wavelengths of light that the star emits.
An observer located to the right of the star in the illustration would see a red shifting in the wavelengths of light that the star emits.
An observer located above the star in the illustration would not see any shifting in the wavelengths of light that the star emits.
An observer located below the star in the illustration would see both blue and red shifting of the wavelengths of light that the star emits.

Canis Minor
Canis Major

D
The Carrington Event occurred during the beginning of September in 1859. It was a solar storm that caused aurora to be seen as far south as the Caribbean and caused serious damage to telegraph systems. Should Earth be struck by a storm of the same magnitude today, it is projected that it would take years for the electrical grid to recover completely. These types of events are the result of which type of solar storm?
Solar Flare
Sun Spot
Coronal Mass Ejection
Solar Prominence
Which of the following statements most accurately describes how solar storms are generated?
The sun’s magnetic poles reverse every eleven years. This reversal causes excess energy to be released, generating solar storms.
The core of the sun fuses hydrogen into helium. This reaction releases massive amount of energy, which in turn generates solar storms.
The sun has a variable rotation, so that the equator rotates faster than the poles. This causes the magnetic field lines of the sun to coil overtime, generating solar storms.
The gravity of the planets pulls on the sun, similar to how the sun’s gravity pulls on the planets. These gravitational forces cause the sun to slightly stretch and relax, creating tides of plasma that generate solar storms.
Which of the following life stages are not a possible life stage for a main sequence star?
Planetary Nebula
Red Giant
Black Hole
Brown Dwarf
Which of the following is not the name of a constellation?
Big Dipper
Bootes
Cancer
Andromeda
