A famous writer who was visiting Japan was invited to give a lecture at a university to a large group of students. As most of them could not understand spoken English, he had to have a translator.
During his lecture he told an amusing story which went for rather a long time. At last he stopped to let the translator translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.
After the lecture, the writer thanked the translator for his good work and then said to him, “Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one.”
“I didn’t tell the story at all”, the translator answered with a smile, “I just said, the respectful lecturer has just told a funny story. You will all laugh, please. ”
The famous writer had to ask a translator to help him because . . . .
He got disappointed when he was not offered that job because he thought that by getting that job he could … his self-confidence.
Like people, stars are born, grow old, and die. Their birthplaces are huge, cold clouds of gas and dust. As the cloud gets smaller, it breaks into hundreds of pieces. Each piece finally becomes so hot that great reactions begin. When the temperature reaches 10 million degrees Celsius, the hot piece becomes a new star.
After their birth, most young stars go to the center of a flat disc of gas and dust. Most of this material is finally burnt by the star’s heat. Before this happens, planets may form around the central star.
Advanced observatories are able to show the heat coming from invisible stars that are forming inside such clouds. One of the most powerful of these is ESA’s Herschel space observatory, launched in May 2009. Herschel will spend at least three years studying the dusty clouds where large and small stars are born.
