A Star Is Born
1 The VLT (Very Large Telescope)is the world'slargest telescope(望远镜)and is taking astronomers(天文学家)further back to theBig Bang than they ever thought possible. Located 2,600 metres up in theChilean Andes, it has four huge mirrors, each about the size of a London bus.The VLT is so powerful it can spot a burning match 10,000 kilometres away. 2 This astonishingpower will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars tothe collision (碰撞)of galaxies(星系)on the edge of thecosmos(宇宙). The VLT is givingastronomers their best-ever view of the cosmos. The power of the VLT to see thesmallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed.
3 Take the case ofEta Carinae, one of the most explosive stars in the universe. This starproduces ultraviolet laser rays(紫外线)and it will destroy itself in a few millionyears' time. It is five times brighter than the sun and when it explodes it isgoing to be a sight worth waiting for!
4 But it is atdistances of millions, even billions, of light years that the VLT really showsits power. The VLT can detect light that set out on its journey before theearth even existed. This gives astronomers their first-ever detailed views ofevents that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos.
5 In other words, theVLT is a kind of a time machine. It takes astronomers back to a time whencomplete galaxies crashed into each other. The effects of these past collisionscan now be seen by scientists, and astronomers believe the telescope willreveal more about these exciting events in the years to come. One day, we mightbe able to say we have traveled back to the beginning of time, and we will havea much clearer picture of how our planet was born.
