III. READING Space – the extreme classroom

1 The Earth has many extreme environments. In the cold darkness of the deepest oceans, the pressure is so great that it
can crush a steel submarine in an instant. A tsunami is so powerful that it can cause destruction thousands of kilometers
from its source, and a volcano can blast the side off a mountain. But even these extremes are insignificant when we think
about space. Space can help us understand extremes in ways we can’t hope to learn about on Earth.
2 First, there is the temperature. The most extreme cold temperature possible is known as absolute zero. This is the
temperature at which there is no movement of molecules, which would happen at about minus 273 degrees centigrade. It
cannot actually be reached, but space gets close. In the Boomerang Nebula, an area of space about five thousand light

years from Earth, the temperature is only a single degree above absolute zero. This is unimaginably cold. The bottoms of
our oceans are hundreds of degrees hotter.
3 The distances in space are equally awesome. The observable universe—the part that we can see—is about 46 billion
light years from Earth. Each light year is about ten trillion kilometers, so the distances are completely incredible. Even our
own galaxy, which we can see at night with our own eyes, is too big to imagine; a circle about 100,000 light years across
and 3,000 deep. No desert or ocean on Earth can begin to compare with that.
4 And the numbers, too, are amazing. The universe is almost 14 billion years old. There are perhaps 80 billion galaxies,
each containing billions of stars or suns. Our galaxy has around a hundred billion stars, each of which may have several
planets and even more moons. With numbers like these, our own planet seems very small and simple.
5 All of this means that space travel is the most extreme activity that man has attempted. When we fire rockets at distant
planets, they must be designed to withstand the extreme cold and to travel at extreme speeds. They must travel for
extreme distances, over extreme time, and handle extreme heat (for example, when they travel near the sun.) However
long the human race lives, we will not be able to explore more than a tiny part of space, but that should not stop us trying.
Dealing with the extremes that space provides helps us to understand our own, less extreme environment, the planet that
we depend on and must protect.

2 The temperature, in degrees centigrade, of absolute zero ______________________
3 The name of the place 5,000 light years from Earth ______________________

countries.
