Throughout history, countless people have made valuable contributions to astronomy. Here is a list of some of them.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did just one thing. Most scholars, however, think it was the greatest thing ever done in astronomy. Copernicus formulated what’s now called the heliocentric model-he moved Earth from the center of the univer and replaced it with the Sun. He didn’t publish his theory until he was on his de athbed in 1543.
Johannes Kepler
Indeed, German astronomer Johannes Kepler’s laws, especially the first, which states that planets move in ellips(not circles)—t the stage for the law of universal gravitation. In addition to many year
s of hard orbital calculations, Kepler also obrved a supernova(超新星), now called Kepler’s Nova, in 1604.
Tycho Brahe
Danish astronomer Tycho Otten Brahe was history’s greatest pre-telescopic obrver. In fact, his careful obrvations of Mars enabled Kepler to develop his laws of planetary motion. Two of his famous obrvations were of the supernova that appeared in 1572(now called Tycho’s Nova)and the Great Comet of 1577.
Galileo Galilei
The first lens Galileo made is where optical(光学的)astronomy began. For that reason, Italian astronomer Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de Galilei ranks No.1 on this list. Although he didn’t invent the telescope, Galileo was the first to u it to study the sky: He obrved sunspots, the phas of Venus, Saturn’s rings, and the four large moons of Jupiter.

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt, “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourlf in my place. Can’t you e things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could e me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my pur and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed an d said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it-on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!

What would you look like when you are 80 years old? It ems too far away to imagine, but an app named FaceApp tries to show you.
The app creates transformations of urs’ faces using various filters(滤镜) and features. The FaceApp aging challenge went viral last month. Even many celebrities like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber shared their wrinkly, grey-haired lfies on social media.
FaceApp helps us stop thinking of things that don’t matter and focus on the prent. “We view the images as inferred fiction, not realized and therefore unreal,” US author Nicci Gerrard told The New York Times. “We think of our younger lves, becau in one n that’s who we are. Our younger stories are all still part of us, while our older lves don’t yet exist.” However, not everyone can laugh at their older lves. For some, aging is terrifying and it’s hard to accept what the future holds in terms of looks and feelings. As MetroUK noted, “FaceApp is making people into a painful crisis.”
In addition, FaceApp is facing a number of accusations regarding ur privacy. When a ur makes changes to a photo, it needs to be uploaded to the rvers in Russia, where the company is located, then AI filters your image and nds it back to you. By using the app, you grant FaceApp the licen

You probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus, but what about your cell phone? Cell phones are basically mini-computers, so, believe it or not, they too can get virus.
“Virus and malware（恶意软件）should not be a major concern to the average consumer who us their device to make phone calls, take pictures, and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces,” Tim Katsch Vice President of iDropped said. “If a ur is downloading a lot
of apps, changing and exploring ttings within the device, and visiting a large number of websites from unknown sources, virus and malware protection should be kept on their mind.” If your phone gets a virus it can mess up your data, put random charges on your bill, and get private information such as your bank account number, credit card information, passwords, and your location.
The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app. Virus can also get on your phone when you click on strange links or open up an email that contains a virus. Connecting to an uncured wireless network in a public place is also a way for hackers（黑客）to get private information from your device.
If you're still convinced that your phone might get a virus, there are anti-virus apps that you can download that will constantly scan your phone to make sure it hasn't developed a virus, Apps like the will also check things before you download them to ensure that they are safe. Another tip is to always look over your cell phone bill every month to make sure there aren't charges from apps that you never downloaded.
