Quasar spectra often show many absorption lines that all appear to be due to the same electron transition (such as level 1 to level 2 in hydrogen) but that fall at different wavelengths in the spectrum. Why do we think this is the case?
 
  A) We are seeing absorption lines from clouds of gas that lie between us and the quasar, and therefore each cloud has a different redshift.
  B) Quasars are rotating rapidly, and this rotation produces spectral lines with a wide variety of Doppler shifts.
  C) The lines fall at different wavelengths because they are produced by different chemical elements.
  D) No one knowsit remains perhaps the greatest mystery about quasars.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
