A radio broadcast was made in 1913. Since that time until 2011, how far has that radio broadcast traveled in light-years? In the solar neighborhood there is, on average, one star system per 400 cubic light-years. How many star systems could have heard this broadcast?

You record the spectrum of a distant star using a telescope on the ground on Earth. Upon analysing the spectrum, you discover absorption lines spaced at intervals typical of oxygen atoms. Which of the following are possible interpretations of this evidence? Select all that apply. The width of the spectral lines gives the diameter of the star The star is likely orbited by habitable planets with breathable atmospheres. The height of the spectral lines above the star's general blackbody spectral curve tells us how much oxygen is in the star The atmosphere of Earth contains oxygen The red or blueshift of the set of lines can tell us the speed of the star's motion toward or away from us

True or False 8. Almost all stars are in binary systems. The book says: "So far you have been considering the deaths of stars as if they were all single objects that never interact, but more than half of all stars are members of binary star systems."From this, I would not necessarily say that almost all stars are in binary systems based on this alone, but some other information I am finding says up to 85%. However, the numbers seem to be all over the map outside the course material, and I can not find a solid figure in it from what I have looked at. If it helps, Stars and Galaxies, 10th Edition by Seeds and Beckman is my reference material.
