The radio lobes that flank some radio galaxies produce mainly - synchrotron radiation. 
The fact that many radio lobes emit more intensely from the side away from the galaxy 
suggests that - they are created by jets from the galaxy. 
The central galaxy in a double-lobed radio source is usually - a ...

Newton concluded that some force had to act on the moon because - a force is needed 
to pull the moon away from straight-line motion. 
When we say that gravitation is universal we mean that - it is a property of all matter. 
Which of the following people did not accept a heliocentric model for the ...

How do we classify galaxies? - We classify galaxies based on if they are spiral, elipitical 
or irregular. The size is determined be the halo. 
What kind of stars do elliptical galaxies contain? - Ellipitcal galaxies have only older 
stars. There is no gas or dust to create new stars.
