Two observers stand next to two identical clocks, one at rest just above the surface of
Earth and the other at rest high above Earth. Which statement correctly describes the
clock readings?
Give this one a try later!
Both observers agree: the clock near Earth is running slower than the clock
high above Earth's surface.
The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 is believed to be a binary system consisting of a stellar-
mass black hole and a normal B-type _____.

supergiant
, Suppose you are in a spaceship traveling at 99% of the speed of light past a long,
narrow space station. Your direction of travel is parallel to the length of the station. If
you measure lengths of objects on the station and also how time is passing on the
station, what results will you get?
Give this one a try later!
Lengths will appear shorter, and time will appear to pass more slowly.
Which one of the following properties is not a characteristic of a black hole?
Give this one a try later!
magnetic field
A ____ black hole is any black hole created during the formation of the universe.

black holes been established?
