Background (CMB) undertaken by the COBE satellite. Use this diagram to estimate the
current temperature of the CMB. Based on your estimate, what would the temperature of
the CMB have been at a redshift of z = 5000?

What are the evidences for dark matter?
Which statement concerning black hole masses and Schwarzschild radii is not true?
A. Even an object as small as you could become a black hole if there were some way to
compress you to a size smaller than your Schwarzschild radius.
B. The more massive the black hole, the larger the Schwarzschild radius.
C. For black holes produced in massive star supernovae, Schwarzschild radii are typically a
few to a few tens of kilometers.
D. In a binary system with a black hole, the Schwarzschild radius depends on the distance
from the black hole to the companion star.
