8. Dark matter has been postulated to explain
a. why the night sky in not completely illuminated by stars
b. the discrepancy in orbital periods observed for stars in the Milky Way
c. the material that is ejected by Black Holes when they evaporate
d. the scattering of light detected from far away galaxies.

a. there are an equal number of galaxies approaching the Earth and receding from the Earth
b. the red shift is the same for all Galaxies we see and is an important verification of the Big Bang Theory
c. the speed of a galaxy as measured from Earth is linearly dependent on the distance of the Galaxy from Earth
d. Einstein's theory of special relativity has limitations near Black Holes

11. The Schwartzschild radius, also called the event horizon, for a Black Hole coming from a star of 2 Solar Masses is
a. 6 Km
b. twice the radius for the Sun's Schartzschild radius.
c. 12 Km
d. This question has no meaning since a star remnant of 2 solar masses is insufficient to create a black hole
