For a time, the Hubble telescope was the brunt of jokes and subject to the wrath of those who believed the U.S government had spent too much money on space projects that served no valid purpose The Hubble was sent into orbit with a satellite by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990 amid huge hype and expectation Yet after it was in position, it simply did not work Because the primary mirror was misshapen, it was not until 1993 that the crew of the Shuttle Endeavor arrived like roadside mechanics, opened the hatch that was installed for the purpose, and replaced the defective mirror with a good one
Suddenly, all that had originally been expected came true The Hubble telescope was indeed the “window on the universe”, as it had originally been dubbed When you look deep into space, you are actually looking back through
Trang 5time, because even though light travels at 186,000 miles a second, it requires time to get from one place to another
In fact, it is said that in some cases, the Hubble telescope is looking back eleven billion years to see galaxies already forming The distant galaxies are speeding away from Earth, some travelling at the speed of light
Hubble has viewed exploding stars such as the Eta Carinae, which clearly displayed clouds of gas and dust billowing
outward from its poles at 1.5 million miles an hour Prior to Hubble, it was visible from traditional telescopes on Earth, but its details were not as certainable But now, the evidence of the explosion is obvious The star still burns five million times brighter than the Sun and illuminates clouds from the inside
Hubble has also provided a close look at black holes, which are described as comic drains Gas and dust swirl around the drain and are slowly sucked in by the incredible gravity It has also looked into an area that looked empty to the naked eye and, within a region the size of a grain of sand, located layer upon layer of galaxies, with each galaxy consisting of billions of stars
The Hubble telescope was named after Edwin Hubble, a 1920s astronomer who developed a formula that expresses the proportional relationship of distances between clusters of galaxies and the speeds at which they travel Astronomers use stars known as Cepheid variables to measure distances in space These stars dim and brighten from time to time, and they are photographed over time and charted All the discoveries made by Hubble have allowed astronomers to learn more about the formation of early galaxies
Question 43 The author states that the Hubble was not always popular because
A people were afraid of what might be found
B many people believed space exploration was a waste of time
C it was defective for its first three years in space
D it was more expensive than most space shuttles
Question 44 The author implies that the satellite that carries the Hubble was specifically designed so that _
A the known defective mirror could be replaced in space rather than on Earth
B maintenance could be done by travelling astronauts
C the Hubble could move easily
D the mirror could contract and expand
Question 45 The author compares the astronauts of the Endeavor to
A astronomers
B scientists
C mechanics
D politicians Question 46: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to
Question 47 The author states that Edward Hubble
A developed the Hubble telescope
B was the first person to use the Hubble telescope
C developed a mathematical formula to measure speed and distances between galaxies
D was a politician who sponsored funding in Congress
Question 48 The author states that
A when viewing a distant galaxy through the Hubble telescope, you are actually looking back in time
B the new mirror distorts the image
C the view from Hubble is not accurate, but it is interesting
D you cannot discern distance or time with any kind of accuracy
Question 49 The word “billowing” in the third paragraph is closest meaning to
Question 50 The author implies that a black hole is analogous to
A water draining in a bathtub B a galaxy C a group of stars D a cloud
