How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are there other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover. NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our Solar System. These planets are hotter than the Earth - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predict that they will need at least three years to find an Earth-like planet. The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore temperature is important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune-sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size matters too. The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to observe until 2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we share it with other life forms? 1. The Kepler space telescope is looking for ______. A. new planets in our galaxy B. life on other planets C. liquid water on other planets D. Earth-sized planets in the Solar System 2. The Kepler team predict that they will need to find an Earth-like planet ___. A. three years and possibly longer B. as much as three years C. no more than three years D. approximately three years 3. What are the primary factors that make a planet habitable? A. Liquid water and living things B. Size and distance from the Sun C. Hot temperature and weak gravity D. Strong gravity and too much air 4. How much does the Kepler mission cost? A. Exactly $600 million B. About $600 million C. More than $600 million D. Less than $600 million 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The planet can support life if it has water and air. B. A very small planet will not have enough air. C. Earth is four times as big as Neptune. D. Kepler mission is scheduled to end in 2013.
5 PART 2. BEER AND CHEESE When you are drinking a cold beer on a hot day, or eating a delicious cheese sandwich, you can thank biotechnology for the pleasure you are experiencing. That's right! Beer, bread and cheese are all produced using biotechnology. Perhaps a definition will be useful to understand how. A standard definition is that biotechnology (or biotech for short) is the application of science and engineering to the direct or indirect use of living organisms. And as you know, the food and drink above are all produced by the fermentation of micro-organisms. In beer, the yeast multiplies as it eats the sugars in the mixture and turns them into alcohol and CO 2. This ancient technique was first used in Egypt to make bread and wine around 4000BC! 1.
