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.visible light from stars is detected by the hubble space telescope.infrared waves are blocked by the dust cloud.visible light easily passes through the dust cloud.more stars can be seen in the infrared image than in the visible light image.

Explanation:

1. The visible light image confirms Hubble detects star visible light.
2. The text states infrared waves pass through dust, so they are not blocked.
3. Visible light only shows dust clouds, not the stars inside, meaning it cannot pass through dust easily.
4. The infrared image clearly displays far more stars than the visible light image, as infrared penetrates dust to reveal hidden stars.

Answer:

A. Visible light from stars is detected by the Hubble Space Telescope.
D. More stars can be seen in the infrared image than in the visible light image.
