Hubble;是以天文学家哈勃为名，在轨道上环绕著地球的望远镜。他的位置在地球的大气层之上，因此获得了地基望远镜所没有的好处——影像不会受到大气湍流的扰动，还能观测会被臭氧层吸收的紫外线。于1990年发射之后，已经成为天文史上最重要的仪器。他已经填补了地面观测的缺口，帮助天文学家解决了许多根本上的问题，对天文物理有更多的认识。 从他于1946年的原始构想开始，直到发射为止，建造太空望远镜的计划不断的被延迟和受到预算问题的困扰。在他发射之后，立即发现主镜有球面像差，严重的降低了望远镜的观测能力。幸好在1993年的维修任务之后，望远镜恢复了计划中的品质，并且成为天文学研究和推展公共关系最重要的工具。 ;Words and expressions;What is this ?;Are we alone(孤单的) in the universe?;What can we see in space?;n.望远镜 v.缩短，压缩 tele- 远程，远距离的 television 电视 telephone 电话 ;Where is the Hubble?;Guess: How much does it cost?;Who launched the Hubble telescope into space?;Ｗｈｏ　ｉｓ　ｈｅ？;What will we do if the Hubble telescope is broken?;Who can repair it?;How can the astronauts get to the Hubble?;endeavour;What is this?;distant;grab v.抓，抓住，抓住（机会）;at a cost of 造价为… at all costs 无论如何，不惜任何代价 她不惜任何代价都要送他的女儿去美国 读书。 She sent her daughter to America to study at all costs. ;pay/spend/cost/take;⑶cost （主语是物或it） 构成：sth + cost +（sb）+ money The book cost me 20 yuan. ⑷take 构成：it takes sb +time + to do It took me 5 hours to finish my homework.; practise; ; v.使失望 ，对…失信 disappointing 令人失望的 disappointed 失望的 be disappointed in a person/thing 对某人或某事失望;send in send up send out send for ;Questions on the text;Text;Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble.
