Describe how the radio lobes get to the outside of their galaxy. Where do they come from? How is it that they still exist this far away from their origin? Estimate how much time it might take these lobes to travel to their current locations.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The average rate of erosion on the Moon is far less than on Earth because:
 
  A) the crust of the Moon is much denser than the Earth's crust.
  B) the Moon is much younger than the Earth.
  C) the Moon lacks wind, water and an atmosphere.
  D) the Moon's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind better than ours does.
  E) the Moon's mare long ago dried up, so there is no more wave erosion there.

Answer to Question 1

Active galaxies sometimes eject jets of charged elementary particles deep into space at nearly the speed of light. The jets are so energetic that they punch through any intervening matter. The jets also contain intense magnetic fields, and as the charged particles interact with the magnetic fields they emit synchrotron radiation, which is at radio wavelengths. Jets travel at nearly light speed, so if a lobe is 300,000 light years (about 100 kpc) from the galactic core, it took 300,000 years to get there.

Answer to Question 2

C

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Did you know?

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Did you know?

Congestive heart failure is a serious disorder that carries a reduced life expectancy. Heart failure is usually a chronic illness, and it may worsen with infection or other physical stressors.

Did you know?

The tallest man ever known was Robert Wadlow, an American, who reached the height of 8 feet 11 inches. He died at age 26 years from an infection caused by the immense weight of his body (491 pounds) and the stress on his leg bones and muscles.
