高一英语作文：天文学的发展

　　天文学的发展
　　
　　现代天文学告诉我们星星是遥远的球体，就像我们的太阳。
　　
　　古人只能以想象的故事来解析星星；我们中国也有‘牛郎织女’的故事。
　　
　　但现在人类已经进入了宇宙空间，我们中国的 ‘神舟’飞船也已经到达月球了。
　　
　　人类发射的人造卫星早已是人们的重要组成部分，它们能发出天气预报，拍摄地球的照片，连接国际长途电话以及帮助全球定位。

　　Modern astrology tells us the stars are all globes, like our sun, far away in space. However, in the ancient times people was not able to explain many natural things in 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 Zhinu’, 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.
