Question

infrared waves also help us see objects in space! stars are born inside thick clouds of dust. visible light emitted from these stars allows us to see the dust clouds but not the stars themselves. since infrared waves pass through dust clouds, they are used to visualize stars.the two images below, taken with nasas hubble space telescope, show the birth of stars in the carina nebula, about 7,500 light-years away from earth.visible light satellite imageinfrared satellite imagecompare the visible light image to the infrared image. select the true statements.stars born thousands of light-years away from earth can be visualized with nasas hubble telescope.stars born inside dust clouds can be visualized using infrared waves.thick clouds of dust block stars in the infrared image.fewer stars can be seen in the visible light image than in the infrared image.

Explanation:

1. The text states the Hubble took images of stars 7,500 light-years away, so this statement is true.
2. The text explicitly notes infrared waves pass through dust clouds to visualize stars inside them, so this is true.
3. Infrared waves pass through dust clouds, so dust does not block stars in the infrared image; this is false.
4. Comparing the images, the visible light image shows fewer stars than the infrared one, so this is true.

Answer:

• A. Stars born thousands of light-years away from Earth can be visualized with NASA's Hubble Telescope.
• B. Stars born inside dust clouds can be visualized using infrared waves.
• D. Fewer stars can be seen in the visible light images than in the infrared image.
