Space
Modern astrology tells us the stars are all globes,like our sun,far away in space.However,in the ancient times people were not able to explain many natural things in a scientific way,so they turned to imagination and explained what they saw with beautiful stories.
In China we also have a lot of old stories about the sun,the moon and the stars,such as "The herd boy Niulang and the weaving girl Zhinü",etc.
Nowadays modern science and technology has brought Man into outer space.People have realized the dream to walk on the moon.They even sent home devices to Mars.And,our China-made "Shen Zhou" spaceships have also entered space.It is said in not far future,Chinese astronauts will set their steps on the moon,too.Man-made satellites launched in space has become an important part of our ordinary life.They are used to provide weather forecasts,take photos of the earth,connect international calls and help people worldwide to find their exact location.
太空
现代占星学告诉我们星体即球体,像太空中遥远的太阳。但是,古代人们不能用科学的方法来解释很多自然现象,因此,他们就通过想象用美丽的故事来解释他们所看到的事情。
在中国我们也有很多关于太阳,月亮和星星的古老的故事,如"牛郎织女"等。
现在,现代科技已经把人类带入了外太空。人们已经实现了月球漫步的梦想。他们甚至把家用设施发射到火星上去了。我们中国制造的"神舟"宇宙飞船也已进入太空。据说,在不久的将来中国也将踏上月球。人造卫星发射到太空也已经成为我们普通生活的一部分。他们被用来提供天气预报,给地球拍照,连接国际电话以及帮助全球的人定位。
