Question

How was John able to determine that we were not at the center of our Milky Way galaxy?

  1. By showing that the expansion rate was equal in all directions.
  2. By showing that the gas and dust had obstructed our view, making us think we were at the center.
  3. By showing the distribution of globular clusters was not centered around us.
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

 John was able to determine that we were not at the center of our Milky Way galaxy by showing the distribution of globular clusters was not centered around us.

The correct answer is: By showing the distribution of globular clusters was not centered around us.


    • We can see the particles in the sky even with the naked eye. This gives a sense that we are not in the center of the Milkyway galaxy.
    • The scientists could survey the spherical distribution of globular clusters.
    • By showing the distribution of globular clusters was not centered around us the scientists secluded that we are not in the center of the milky way galaxy.
