Why did Galileo's observations of moons orbiting Jupiter disagree with geocentric model of the universe of his time?

a. The moons moved in non-circular orbits about Jupiter.
b. The moons did not appear to orbit the Sun.
c. The moons did not appear to orbit the Earth.
d. The moons appeared to be too small, and therefore too far away, to be considered part of the solar system.

Why is the cosmic microwave background (CMB) so cold if the early universe was so hot?

a. Enough time has passed for matter in the universe to release enough heat to cool down. b. The CMB constantly interacts with atoms, which effectively cool down the photons. c. The expansion of the universe has redshifted those photons to an effectively cooler temperature. d. Misleading; The Big Bang was initially hot but the CMB was released from cold material much later on.
