About the Hubble Space Telescope
adapted excerpt from NASA and Space Telescope Science Institute
Orbiting 360 miles above Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope is positioned high above the blurring effects of the atmosphere. From this vantage
point, it captures images with 10 times the typical clarity of any ground-based telescope and views not only visible light but also wavelengths of
near-infrared and ultraviolet light that cannot reach Earth's surface. To operate from orbit, the observatory works like any other scientific or
imaging spacecraft; it converts the optical data it collects into electrical signals that are transmitted back to Earth. It must also withstand the
airless, high-radiation, and harsh thermal environment of space.
Unlike most other spacecraft, however, Hubble was designed to be serviced periodically by astronauts and so was built with modular
components that are astronaut-friendly to handle and replace. This design strategy has enabled it to operate longer than ordinary spacecraft
and to benefit from the technological advancements of the last two decades. Astronauts have visited the telescope five times to upgrade its
computers, mechanisms, and instruments. These servicing missions have kept the observatory at the forefront of discovery by providing it with
increasingly sensitive and accurate components. The last of these servicing calls was in May 2009.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
