A.One must know something about astronomy and telescopes. B.One can't buy a telescope without buying several astronomy magazines. C.One should check the telescopes in the market and try to find a better one. D.One must be familiar with new information of astronomy and space instruments. 30.Why does the author advise buying a pair of binoculars first? A.The telescope is too expensive.

A.It looks very elegant. B.It refracts light by an eye piece C.It has clear images without any lenses. D.It is not convenient to take along for its size. A home science experiment took the world by storm.Two teens from Toronto,in Canada,sent a Lego man rising above Earth and captured their tiny astronaut's trip on film. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above Earth.This is inside a part of Earth's atmosphere The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of Earth.Mathew and Asad then spent four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into space. Travelling to space is expensive for NASA,but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down.They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man's parachute()by hand.In total,the project cost only $400. "We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,"Mathew told reporters.They had to pump extra helium()into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds. The toy astronaut's journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth.Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft.It had landed 76 miles away from the launch site
