The NASA Star Finder charts are constructed based on the visible night sky at 34 degrees N latitude, about as far north of the equator as Los Angeles, California. Will the constellations on the Star Finder chart shift in the sky if you observe the night sky from further south?(1 point)

Responses

Yes, they will shift South.

Yes, they will shift South.

When you observe the night sky from a location further south than 34 degrees N latitude, the constellations will appear to shift southward in the sky. This is due to the observer's change in latitude, which affects the visible portion of the celestial sphere.

Which list gives key events regarding the exploration of space in the correct order, beginning with the earliest?(1 point)
Responses

first humans on the Moon, first humans on Mars, launching the International Space Station.
first humans on the Moon, first humans on Mars, launching the International Space Station.

first humans on the Moon, first lander on Mars, first space shuttle flight
first humans on the Moon, first lander on Mars, first space shuttle flight

first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.
first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.

first space shuttle flight, Hubble Space telescope launch, last humans on the moon.

The correct order of key events regarding the exploration of space, beginning with the earliest, is: first humans in space, first space shuttle flight, first humans on the moon.

  1. First humans in space (Yuri Gagarin in 1961)
  2. First space shuttle flight (STS-1 in 1981)
  3. First humans on the Moon (Apollo 11 in 1969)

(Note: The sequence provided in the original question appears to be slightly incorrect, since astronauts landed on the Moon before the first space shuttle flight. The correct order should actually start with "first humans in space", followed by "first humans on the moon", and then the "first space shuttle flight".) If you are looking for specific events that reflect a chronological timeline, please ensure the options match those events accurately.

corona

The layer that is missing from the model, which shows all of the sun's layers but only includes layers of the sun's atmosphere visible from Earth under normal circumstances, is the corona. The corona is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere but is not typically visible without special equipment, such as during a solar eclipse.
