There are lots of objects that we see in the sky. During the day we see the sun. After the sunset in the evening, we see mostly the stars. Not all the lights in the sky that we see are really stars.

Of course, we see the moon. Some of the other lights in the sky are planets. Planets revolve (转动) around the sun like earth does.

Once in a while someone will see what they call a shooting star.

Shooting star looks like a star that is moving quickly across the sky. Some people believe that seeing a shooting star will bring them good luck. It’s hard to find shooting star because they disappear fast.

The correct name for a shooting star is meteor. Besides very large objects like stars, planets and moons, space has lots of little objects. These can be rocks in space left over from old planets.

These objects can even be as small as dust.These objects are called meteorites(陨石 ).

When a meteorite gets close to the earth, it gets pulled towards the earth by gravity. Earth is surrounded by atmosphere. Atmosphere is made up of air and clouds. A meteorite blows up in the earth’s atmosphere. This makes the short bright moving light in the night sky. A meteorite thus turns into a meteor.

Ray Tomlinson was born in New York State. He sent the world’s f 【1】 email and let us have the use of the @ symbol in electronic communications. Tomlinson wrote a program in 1971 that a 【2】 messages to be exchanged between different computers. Before that time, electronic messages had only been exchanged between people using the s 【3】 main unit.

At the time of his invention, Tomlinson was researching possible uses for the ArpaNet—the US military (军方) network that formed the base of the Internet, and showed an i 【4】 in improving the use of ArpaNet’s “mailbox(邮箱)”, which made users send messages to the mailboxes possible. In the past, people had to print out the message and p 【5】 it in the mailbox. This achievement made a great difference in people’s life.

Tomlinson also came up with the ideai 【6】 of using the “@” symbol to separate the name of the receiver from the name of the host, creating the standard still used today. Although it had a history of o 【7】 forty years, Tomlinson said email had not changed much since its invention.

Tomlinson studied electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic and t 【8】 got his masters (硕士学位) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined a company called Bolt, Beranek, and Newman in 1967, and stayed there the r 【9】 of his life. He died at the age of 74. The company was later acquired (收购) by Raytheon.

“A true technology pioneer and his work changed the w 【10】 the world communicates.” Ratheon said. “It is with great sadness we know the passing of our friend.”
