Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 25EAP
Decide whether tile statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly, not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer
25. Gamman-ray bursts are more likely to be observed in galaxies that are rapidly forming new stars than in galaxies contain lug only old stars.

Question A7
State three pieces of evidence that support the idea that the Universe began in a hot Big Bang,
and explain how each piece of evidence supports the hot Big Bang model. Describe the ob-
servational evidence that supports the idea that the Universe is pervaded by Dark Energy, and
explain why each piece of evidence you cite supports the Dark Energy model.
