Question

what observations did harlow shapley make that indicated that the sun is not at the center of the milky way? shapleys observations not shapleys observations answer bank star counts in different parts of the night sky distribution of globular clusters in space distribution of cold molecular clouds in the milky way x - ray emission from the milky ways central black hole

Explanation:

Harlow Shapley used star - counts in different parts of the night sky and the distribution of globular clusters in space to conclude the Sun is not at the center of the Milky Way. Cold molecular cloud distribution and X - ray emission from the central black hole were not part of his work for this determination.

Answer:

Shapley's observations: star counts in different parts of the night sky, distribution of globular clusters in space
Not Shapley's observations: distribution of cold molecular clouds in the Milky Way, X - ray emission from the Milky Way's central black hole
