Today we invite you to discover or rediscover an interesting field of activity, namely astronomy. I don’t know about you but I’ve always been fascinated by stars, planets nebulas…you know, the macrocosm. While I was a kid I was very fond of a TV series about our universe hosted by American astronomer Carl Sagan.
Now I invite you to have a look at some words and expressions;
Planet Earth — Planeta Pamant
Star — Stea
Asteroid — Asteroid
The Moon — Luna
The Sun — Soarele
Telescope — Telescop
Astronomy — Astronomie
Meteorite — Meteorit
Star cluster — Roi de stele
Galaxy — Galaxie
Nebula – Nebuloasa
Now let’s put these words into phrases.
Our solar system comprises nine planets. Sistemul nostru solar are noua planete.
There are billions of stars in the universe — Sunt miliarde de stele in univers.
The Helix Nebula is one of the best-known nebulas in the universe. – Nebuloasa Helix este una dintre cele mai cunoscute in univers.
The asteroid belt is between the orbits of planet Mars and Jupiter. – Centura de asteroizi se afla intre orbitele planetelor Marte si Jupiter.
There is no life on Mars. — Nu exista viata pe Marte.
