By 2025, Voyager 1 was over 25 billion kilometres from Earth, but that is still a long way from Earth’s second-closest star, Proxima Centauri.

Humans have long been curious about the stars. C. In the future, it may be possible to visit a star. D. No spacecraft has travelled close to a star. Reaching for the Stars Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered what they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were from gods or other mysterious worlds. However, as science and technology developed, we learnt the truth about stars. They are real places like our own sun, and they are farther away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit the stars one day? Read para 1 and answer the questions. 1. What did some ancient cultures think about stars? Why? 2. What truth have we learnt about stars? They believed that stars were lights from gods or other mysterious worlds, because they did not have modern science or technology to understand what stars really are. They are real places like our own sun, and they are farther away than anyone imagined. P57 1e 1 2 Read para 2 and decide True or False. 1 Voyager 1 was launched in 1997.
