When man began to search the skies, he saw a lot of things. In the universe(宇宙),the earth seemed to be just a small bit of dust. It is only a small planet, and travels around the sum The sun together with its planets, travels in the Milky Way(银河), our galaxy(星系). The Milky Way has about thirty billion stars like our sun, and is one of about a hundred million galaxies in the universe
Because the space (空间)is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is. Instead of kilometres, we have light-years. A light-year means how far light travels in one year. Our nearest neighbour galaxy is more than 9000,000 light-years away from the earth.
Man has known that ______.
A.the Milky Way is the only galaxy
B.other galaxies are near ours
C.the sun is a large star in the Milky Way
D.the earth is a small part of the universe
Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
Buy $40 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap.
Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 400,000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. "If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us", says one scientist. "It's that simple".
The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? "The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them, "said a New York Times article.
What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.
B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
