Question 2

Process of Science: In the discovery of quasars, the radio source 3C273 was found to have strong emission lines at wavelengths that did not correspond to any known element on Earth.

Suppose a scientist postulated that they had discovered a new element that only existed in these powerful radio sources. How would you test this?

A

Answer to Question 2

You would expect to see the same lines in other galaxies or radio sources like 3C273. (This is not seeninstead, a similar pattern of lines is seen but shifted in wavelength.)
