CARD 1

What?

Popular Science Presentation

THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE AND SPACE EXPLORATION

Facts in brief:

The famous telescope was named after astronomer Edwin Hubble.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space on 24th April 1990 from the Space Shuttle Discovery. Since that time it has released a lot of fantastically clear photos. The telescope is still in operation and works in low Earth orbit.

The telescope provides data to reveal lots of mysteries of our solar system, and close and faraway galaxies. Astrophysicists also claim that Hubble's information helps them to study the nature of black holes and to understand how they form.

Extras:

Some fresh images sent by Hubble will be presented.

BLACK HOLES AND THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE

Facts in brief:

The term "Black Hole" was suggested by physicist John Wheeler in 1967 and since that time it has been one of the most fascinating mysteries of the universe.

At first, it was considered that black holes meant nothing at all, empty space. But now scientists are sure that the opposite is true – black holes are extremely massive and dense, with very strong gravitational effects. Even light cannot escape their powerful gravitational fields.

It was Albert Einstein who predicted the discovery of black holes.

Now, the leading physicists in the world, including Stephen Hawking, are studying them.

Extras:

Some videos from a related lecture by Prof. Hawking will be presented.

Решение 2.

ДИСКУССИЯ: КАКУЮ ПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЮ ВЫБРАТЬ?

Ответ:

Both presentations look interesting, but they are at the same time, so we have to choose. The Hubble Telescope one sounds cool because of the new images. However, the presentation about Black Holes will feature videos from a lecture by Professor Stephen Hawking! He's a genius. I think we should definitely go to that one. It will be exciting! So, let's go see 'Black Holes and the Origin of the Universe'.

Перевод: Обе презентации выглядят интересно, но они проходят в одно и то же время, поэтому нам нужно выбрать. Презентация о телескопе Хаббл звучит круто из-за новых снимков. Однако на презентации о черных дырах будут видео с лекции профессора Стивена Хокинга! Он гений. Я думаю, нам определенно стоит пойти на неё. Будет захватывающе! Итак, давай пойдем на «Черные дыры и происхождение Вселенной».
