THE SOLAR SYSTEM 1º ESO. LANGUAGE ASSISTANT.

 

Our Solar System has a star, eight planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids and comets. 

 

We call our star the Sun and it includes 99% of all the mass in the Solar System.

 The Sun heats and lights our world and allows life on Earth. 

It is a luminous object; planets and moons are non-luminous objects but we can see them because of the light they reflect.

The planets orbit the Sun and the Earth is one of the planets.

 Moons are large natural satellites that orbit a planet; we have just one moon but some planets have several moons.

¿Por qué hay vida en la Tierra?

Mujeres en Astronomía.

"En la Tierra, mujeres y hombres estamos tomando los mismos riesgos. ¿Por qué no deberíamos tomar los mismos riesgos en el espacio?"

Valentina Tereshkova (1937)

        ¿Sabes quién fue Valentina Tereshkova?

       1.      Escribe una breve biografía: (lugar, fecha de nacimiento, familia, logros, dificultades por el hecho de ser mujer...)

Write a short report about her   (place and date of birth, her family,  her main achievements and the problems she found because of been a woman,...)

     2. ¿Por qué nunca hemos oído hablar de las mujeres negras que trabajaron como matemáticas en la NASA? Esta es la pregunta que se harán muchos de los espectadores de la película Figuras Ocultas. También es la cuestión que más veces han planteado a Margot Lee Shetterly, la autora del libro en el que se basa la cinta.

“Un equipo de matemáticas conocidas como las ‘computadoras humanas’ calcularon, con lápices, reglas y sencillas calculadoras, las complicadas ecuaciones que permitieron lanzar los cohetes y a sus astronautas al espacio –explica la escritora en su libro–; y entre ellas figuraba un pequeño y excepcional grupo de mujeres afroamericanas especialmente talentosas que formaron parte de las mentes más brillantes de su generación”.

1°ESO A, B.Task: The Universe.

 The Universe

The Universe is a very large and relatively unknown place. People have studied stars since ancient times but there is still a lot to explore.

The Universe is so big it is very difficult to travel to other planets. The conditions on the planets can also be severe and dangerous.

New technologies help us learn more about the Universe. Telescopes and probes that scientists send into space help us collect more information.

Desde los tiempos más remotos, los seres humanos han sentido una gran curiosidad por el Universo y las leyes que lo rigen.

En muchas civilizaciones se consultaba la posición de los astros antes de emprender grandes empresas, como viajes o batallas, para ver si aquellos les eran propicios.

Desde el primer telescopio de Galileo, los avances tecnológicos han permitido que los astrónomos y astrónomas cuenten con potentes telescopios, radiotelescopios y sondas espaciales.

En la actualidad, estos avances nos permiten ver imágenes de la Tierra tomadas desde el espacio exterior, de estrellas en formación, de fusión de galaxias a millones de años luz de nosotros, de robots analizando el suelo de Marte o de sondas espaciales viajando por los confines de nuestro Sistema Solar, que hace unos años nos hubiera parecido increíble.

                            WHAT DO WE KNOW?

1. When you look into the night sky, you can see lots of stars. Do you know what any of the stars or constellations are called?

2. We live on planet Earth. Can you name any other planets in our Solar System?

3. What do you think the Universe consists of?

4. Will space travel be more common in the future?

5. Do you think there are life forms on other planets?

6. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre una estrella y una galaxia?

7. ¿Qué tipo de cuerpo celeste es el Sol? ¿Y la Tierra?

8. ¿Cuál es el nombre de los cuatro planetas más cercanos al Sol?

9. ¿Por qué los planetas giran alrededor del Sol?

WHY DO WE ALWAYS SEE THE SAME SIDE OF THE MOON?

ESA

ESA is the only space agency in the world that covers the whole range of space activities. We're exploring our Solar System and unlocking the secrets of the Universe. We're monitoring space and protecting our planetary environment. We're making space accessible and developing the technologies for the future, and we're also using space to benefit citizens and meet future challenges on Earth. In November 2019, European ministers in charge of space activities will gather at the Space19+ conference in Seville, Spain, to decide on ESA’s vision for the future of Europe in space. Space19+ will be an opportunity to direct Europe’s ‘next generation’ ambitions in space, and address the challenges facing not only the European space sector but also European society as a whole.
