Answer to Question 1

Ionized helium is found only in O type stars, which should be blue-white in color; if the star appears orange, it must lie behind a thin dust cloud that is absorbing and scattering most of the shorter wave radiation that the star is sending into space; the star would, therefore, appear much blue and brighter if not for the dust cloud.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

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.
