Hubble Telescope Looks at Stars

哈б爾望遠鏡觀測恆星


Introduction

NASA uses the Hubble Space Telescope. It took photos of three places in space.

NASA 使用哈б爾太空望遠鏡,拍攝了太空中三個地點的照片。

Main Body

The telescope looked at LH 95. This place has many new stars. Some stars are very big and blue. These stars grow slowly over many years.

這台望遠鏡觀測了 LH 95。這個地方有許多新恆星。有些恆星非常巨大且呈藍色。這些恆星經過多年緩慢成長。

Next, the telescope looked at M3. This group of stars is very old. Some stars here are different. This means two groups of stars joined together a long time ago.

接著,望遠鏡觀測了 M3。這組恆星非常古老。這裡的一些恆星較為特殊。這意味著兩組恆星在很久以前合併了。

Finally, the telescope looked at NGC 6426. These stars are 13 billion years old. They show us what the early universe was like. Old stars exploded and made new stars.

最後,望遠鏡觀測了 NGC 6426。這些恆星有 130 億年歷史。它們向我們展示了早期宇宙的樣子。古老的恆星爆炸後形成了新恆星。

Conclusion

Hubble helps us see how stars are born and how the galaxy grew.

哈б爾幫助我們了解恆星如何誕生以及星系如何成長。

🌌 The 'Time' Words

To speak A2 English, you need to show when things happen. Look at how the text moves from new to old:

  • New \rightarrow 'many new stars' (Happening now/recently)
  • Slowly \rightarrow 'grow slowly over many years' (Taking a long time)
  • Old \rightarrow 'very old' / '13 billion years old' (Happened long ago)

Quick Rule: Use 'New' for things that just started. Use 'Old' for things from the past.


🛠️ Making Simple Groups

Notice how the writer connects ideas using simple words:

  1. Next \rightarrow (Move to the next thing)
  2. Finally \rightarrow (The last thing in the list)

Example: First, I drink water. \rightarrow Next, I eat breakfast. \rightarrow Finally, I go to work.
