  7. Question 6 a) a beam of light. b) a massive object. c) neutrinos. d) antimatter. e) All of the above are correct. The force of gravity can pull on Gravity is described by general relativity as a bending of space, and all particles, including photons, move through warped space along curved paths.

  9. Question 8 a) is the point where X rays emerge. b) is the physical surface of the hole. c) defines the outer edge of an accretion disk. d) is measured by the Schwarzschild radius. e) extends for millions of miles into space. The event horizon of a black hole

  10. Question 8 a) is the point where X rays emerge. b) is the physical surface of the hole. c) defines the outer edge of an accretion disk. d) is measured by the Schwarzschild radius. e) extends for millions of miles into space. The event horizon of a black hole The event horizon is the surface of an imaginary sphere around a collapsed object inside of which nothing, including light, can escape.

  17. Question 5 a) NASA’s latest X-ray orbiting telescope. b) a millisecond pulsar with three planets. c) the strongest X-ray eclipsing binary system. d) a likely black hole binary star system. e) the first gamma-ray burster spotted in X rays. Cygnus X-1 is Cygnus X-1 is an X-ray source with one visible star orbited by an unseen companion of at least 10 solar masses, and very rapid changes in the signal indicating a small source.
