Q1.
The VLT (Very Large Telescope) is the world’s largest telescope and it is taking scientists further
back to the Big Bang than they ever thought possible.
In other words, the VLT is a kind of a time machine,
giving astronomers detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos. One day, we
will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born.
Q2.
The latest development in the debate amongst scientists about what killed the
pre historic dinosaurs is
the suggestion that acid rain was the cause. Some geologists suggest that a large meteor hitting the earth at
65 kilometres per second would have led to strongly acidic rain falling all over the world.
This idea is
fascinating but it would mean the dinosaurs would all have died within a very short time.
Q3.
In 1948, a British farmer discovered an interesting lump of metal while ploughing his field. At first he
thought the metal bits were parts of an old bed. Then more ‘parts of old beds’
turned up and the farmer
took them to the local museum. ‘But these bits are priceless!’ exclaimed the keeper of the museum. ‘They
are Iron Age jewellery and coins!’ Over the next 40 years, more and more items were found in the same
field.
Q4.
Rats may have had a bit of a hard time over the years but these days lots of people are
forgetting about
guineapigs and hamsters and are buying rats instead. Domestic rats aren’t the same as the ones that run
around rubbish bins — they’re actually quite cute. They are very intelligent and can be trained like dogs.
They come in different colours and — a big bonus — they will eat anything!
