A scientist uses a space telescope to photograph the two stars. Which of these is a correct conclusion about the photographs of the two stars as taken by the scientist? (1 point)

Select one:
a. It takes more than 10 years to photograph Sirius.
b. It takes more than 10 years to photograph Epsilon Eridani.
c. The photographs show a more recent picture of Sirius than Epsilon Eridani.
d. The photographs show a more recent picture of Epsilon Eridani than Sirius.

Answer 1

c. The photographs show a more recent picture of Sirius than
Epsilon Eridani, because Sirius is closer to us, so the light that
we get from it tonight left Sirius earlier than the light we get from 
Epsilon Eridani, and the view of Sirius that we get is 'younger'.
