NEW HUNT FOR LIFE IN SPACE
British space scientists are planning to join the American in the race to find evidence of life on (56) _______ planets. Alan Penny and his team at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory have designed a telescope that is 40 times more powerful than Hubble. Known as ‘Darwin’, his telescope could tell if planets 50 (57) _______ years away have any kind of life on them. Two days (58) _______, NASA scientists had shown a proof that one of Jupiter’s moons could support life, Penny announced that his telescope may be included in a European Space Agency mission. The Darwin project, with a (59) _______ of 500 million, is on a short list of two proposals. If approved it will probably be (60) _______ around 2015, its destination somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. The blueprint is actually for five telescopes positioned 50 meters apart in space, slowly circling a (61) _______ processing station. The combined data from these telescopes would build up a full picture of a planet, picking out faint images that have never been seen before. Darwin would not be able to take detailed photographs of the planets it (62) _______, but Penny believes a second- generation telescope could be sent up to do this. He claims it is worthwhile mapping the universe around our (63) _______ galaxy, even though these planets lie (64) _______ our reach for the moment. The European Space Agency will make its decision (65) ______ Darwin within three years.
