Who was the first Indian astronomer to study the kinematics of nebulae?

  1. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

  2. Meghnad Saha

  3. Harlow Shapley

  4. Vesto Slipher

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was the first Indian astronomer to study the kinematics of nebulae. He published his first paper on the subject in 1930.

What was the main focus of Chandrasekhar's research on nebulae kinematics?

  1. The rotation of nebulae

  2. The expansion of nebulae

  3. The structure of nebulae

  4. The composition of nebulae

Show answer
Correct Option: B

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chandrasekhar studied the Andromeda Nebula in his research.

What did Chandrasekhar's research on nebulae kinematics reveal?

  1. That nebulae are expanding

  2. That nebulae are rotating

  3. That nebulae are composed of gas and dust

  4. That nebulae are located in the Milky Way galaxy

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chandrasekhar's research revealed that nebulae are expanding.

What was the significance of Chandrasekhar's research on nebulae kinematics?

  1. It confirmed the theory of general relativity

  2. It provided evidence for the Big Bang theory

  3. It led to the discovery of dark matter
