Define a ray of light. What is a temperature inversion? Which cosmic distance measurement techniques are considered standard candle techniques? 1. What evidence did ancient Greek astronomers have that Earth does NOT move? 2. How do we know it DOES?
Why does a candle extinguish when air (even hot) is blown? What is mean by gravitational intensity? Which cosmic distance measurement techniques are considered standard candle techniques? What are the three factors, on which thermal energy depends?
The dominating form of energy in the cosmos dark energy is driving the accelerating expansion of the universe, but its nature remains a mystery.
The astronomers were observing these so-called "standard candle" supernovas to attempt to measure the rate of universal expansion — called the Hubble constant. What they found was more distant supernovas that had exploded when the universe was much younger were fainter than expected. ...

Towards the end of the last century, the first IACT experiments were built and started operation, proving the robustness and reliability of this detection technique through the first detection of the standard candle VHE emitter, the Crab Nebula [53]. In parallel with the confirmation of the IACT...
