Question 45 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC
Look at the graphic from NASA and read the excerpt from Chapter Four of Windows to the Universe: Revolutions in Astronomy.The Hubble Space Telescope can observe three types of light: ultraviolet, visible, and infrared. Infrared light has longer wavelengths than visible light. It can be seen through dust clouds that often obscure distant stars and galaxies, making it one of the best ways to study the universe in depth. However, Hubble's ability to observe in the infrared range is limited. Scientists wanted to build a space telescope that could focus primarily on infrared light, providing new insights that Hubble could not fully achieve.How does the graphic enhance the information in the excerpt?
Answer
A
It demonstrates that infrared telescopes are unable to detect anything beyond our galaxy.B
It shows that JWST and Hubble detect the same types of light with no difference in capabilities.C
It compares the range of light observed by Hubble, JWST, and Spitzer, helping to illustrate why JWST was needed.D
It proves that visible light is the most useful type of light for studying deep space, including distant stars and galaxies.
