17. According to the passage, which of the following is a direct perceptual consequence of interstellar dust?
Some stars are rendered invisible to observers on Earth.
Many visible stars are made to seem brighter than they really are.
The presence of hydrogen and helium gas is revealed.
The night sky appears dusty at all times to observers on Earth.
The dust is conspicuously visible against a background of bright stars.
18. It can be inferred from the passage that the density of interstellar material is
higher where distances between the stars are shorter
equal to that of interstellar dust
unusually low in the vicinity of our Sun
independent of the incidence of gaseous components
not homogeneous throughout interstellar space
19. It can be inferred from the passage that it is because space is so vast that
little of the interstellar material in it seems substantial
normal units of volume seem futile for measurements of density
stars can be far enough from Earth to be obscured even by very sparsely distributed matter
interstellar gases can, for all practical purposes, be regarded as transparent
optical astronomy would be of little use even if no interstellar dust existed
