Irregular and elliptical galaxies contain large amounts of _______ and gas that make it difficult to distinguish individual star
Novosadov [1.4K]

1. dust

2. Hubble's constant

3. Local Group

4. Dark matter is massive enough to produce a gravitational redshift and gravitational microlensing in light from nearby stars or galaxies. The mass of visible matter also can be compared to the total mass of a galaxy or cluster. This invisible portion of the total mass is called dark matter.

5. In an expanding universe, objects are moving away from Earth, so the light they emit would have a redshift as observed from Earth. In a decelerating universe, light would have no redshift. Light would have a blueshift in a collapsing universe because all objects in that type universe would be moving toward each other.

Explain how the maps above depict the relationship between neocolonialism and human development.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The first map shows colonized nations in 1945. European powers had colonized vulnerable and faltering nations to undergird their economies. The second map shows that, even more than 50 years later, the majority of moderately developed or underdeveloped nations were former colonies of the presently highly developed nations. This conclusion supports neocolonialism in that former colonies have moved toward industrialization and economic independence. The economies of the former colonies are still, to an extent, dictated by, and even hampered by, their former colonizers.
