Answer to Question 1

Several possibilities: (a) The rotational axes of Uranus and Pluto are substantially tilted. (b) Venus rotates backward, that is, clockwise. (c) Unlike other terrestrial planets, Earth has a large moon. (d) Some of the moons of the jovian planets orbit in the opposite direction.

Answer to Question 2

The older the cluster is, the farther down the main sequence the turn-off point to the giant stage will fall, and the fewer of the hot blue stars to the top left of the H-R diagram will be left. For the oldest clusters, red supergiants will be their brightest members; the more massive blue stars either evolved or exploded.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
