Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Hot gas glows as emission nebulae. Cool dust absorbs and scatters blue light more, making the distant stars appear redder in color than their spectra indicate they should. And if the cool dust and gas is dense enough, it can block starlight entirely and be revealed by its dark profiles against the starry background. Also, the dust grains can form molecules that are picked up with microwave or radio scopes.
