Developing ideas
Unit 6 Space and beyond
In this class, you will
acquire and state information concerning the Hubble Space Telescope.
read a passage and learn about the development of telescope and human’s journey of exploration.
give a talk about Humphry Davy’s quote.
write a journal entry about living in space.
Learning objectives
What do you know about the Hubble Space Telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope, launched by NASA in 1990, has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. With its advanced technology and precise instruments, it has provided us with not only stunning images but also a wealth of valuable scientific data.
Lead-in
Here are some images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Lead-in
Match the images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope to their nicknames.
The Cat’s Eye
The Pillars of Creation
The Horsehead
Activity 1
Do research online to find out more information about them.
"The Pillars of Creation" showcases the beauty and power of the universe, revealing colossal (巨大的) structures where new stars are born. This image allows scientists to study star formation in detail and inspires awe and curiosity about our place in the vast cosmos.
Activity 1
"The Horsehead" showcases the beauty of the universe while providing valuable insights into star formation processes, inspiring further exploration and reminding us of our place in the vast cosmos.
Activity 1
Do research online to find out more information about them.
"The Cat's Eye” showcases the intricate (复杂的) beauty of a dying star and its surrounding gas. The stunning image reveals concentric (同中心的) rings formed by stellar winds (恒星风) and periodic outbursts (周期性爆发) from the star itself. This masterpiece serves as a reminder of life and death in our universe while inspiring us with its breathtaking beauty.

3. In what order is the passage developed
In time order.
What can be seen through the “eyes”
The night sky has been an endless source of fascination since the start of human history. For example, the mysterious large-eyed, bronze statues of the ancient Shu Kingdom, discovered at the Chinese archaeological site at Sanxingdui, were believed to have been able to look across great distances into the stars.
In reality, humans can see very little of the night sky with the naked eye. And, for a long while, people were unable to understand what they could see. Not knowing what the stars were, people in ancient times used their imaginations to create a world in the sky.

Activity 3 (Read for details)
What can be seen through the “eyes”
Our power to investigate and thus understand space changed dramatically when the first telescope was angled at the night sky, increasing as it did the power of the human eye and enabling us to understand that the universe is far larger than was previously imaginable. The planets were seen to be worlds similar to our own, many of them even having their own moons. Soon, it was understood that the Sun was just one star among billions in the galaxy we call the Milky Way. Some 300 years later, we learnt that the Milky Way itself was just one galaxy among billions of others, spread across the blackness of space like great islands of light and matter floating in a vast cosmic ocean.

What can be seen through the “eyes”
Almost 400 years after the first Earth-based telescope was invented, the Hubble Space Telescopes was launched into orbit, giving astronomers indeed all of us- the first breathtakingly beautiful images of our universe taken from beyond Earth. Nothing in history has allowed us to see so much over such great distances, from enormous clouds of gas where stars are being born, to huge black holes, and even to new planets where we might conceivably find life. Not only that- it has also helped us to work out the age and nature of the universe and discover the incredible fact that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing speed.

Activity 3 (Read for details)
What can be seen through the “eyes”
To see even further into the universe, many countries are now engaged in building ever more advanced telescopes. Currently, China operates the world’s largest and most powerful radio telescope, the FAST telescope, completed in 2016. The 500-metre dish of the “Eye of Heaven”, as it is known, is being used in the search for dark matter, thought to be composed of subatomic particles invisible to ordinary telescopes. This vast dish also has the ability to explore regions of space billions of light years away, right at the edge of the visible universe.

Radio telescope – the FAST telescope
Activity 3 (Read for details)
How will the development in astronomy change us in the future
The Hubble and the space telescopes constructed after it will allow us to see further and further into space. We will view stars and galaxies billions of light years away and look back at a past that was billions of years ago. Using ever-larger radio telescopes as our eyes, we will one day be able to look back to a time in the very early universe, before the existence of light. But the human quest for knowledge reaches even beyond that. So much of the universe remains unexplored that we are still close to the start of this incredible journey of discovery.
Activity 3 (Read for details)
Complete the timeline with information from the passage.
Thousands of years ago, people already regarded the night sky as an _________________________. It was believed that the huge eyes of the large-eyed bronze statues from the Chinese archaeological site at Sanxingdui were able to ____________________________________.
Our power to see the sky changed dramatically when _______________________________________. It extended _________________________ and caused us to realise that the universe is a far larger place than we ever imagined.

enormous clouds of gas to huge black holes
see breathtakingly beautiful images of our universe taken from beyond Earth

Activity 3 (Read for details)
1. Why do you think people have always been interested in the stars
People's interest in stars stems from their beauty and mystery, navigational importance, scientific significance, and curiosity about the unknown.
Activity 4 (Think and share)
2. Which development in astronomy mentioned in the passage has made the greatest impression on you
The Hubble Space Telescope has made the greatest impression on me because of its remarkable contributions to our understanding of the universe. Its ability to capture breathtaking images and gather valuable data from distant galaxies, stars, and planets is truly awe-inspiring. The discoveries made by the Hubble have opened up new avenues for scientific exploration.
Activity 4 (Think and share)
3. In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit reflect the spirit of exploration
The first passage is about the Challenger disaster. Although it was a tragedy, people did not stop exploring space. This shows that people will always seek to explore, even if some lose their lives in doing so. The second passage is about the development of the telescope, and how it reflects our desire to explore the unknown. Unlike the exploration conducted by astronauts such as those in the Challenger, the exploration in the second passage was conducted by people located on Earth, at no personal risk. Nonetheless, the knowledge gained from telescopes is immense. The passages show that there are different ways of exploring the universe and of gaining knowledge.
Activity 4 (Think and share)
4. Have you ever used a telescope or been to planetarium Share your experience with the class.
Activity 4 (Think and share)
Work in groups. Give a talk about the quote.
The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance; the more we feel how much remains unknown.
--Humphry Davy
1. Talk about the meaning of Humphry Davy’s quote and whether you agree with it.
As we continue to learn and explore the world around us, we begin to realize just how vast and complex it truly is. Every new piece of information we uncover only serves to highlight the gaps in our knowledge, reminding us that there is always more to discover.
