16、also planned for this summer.So why all the interest in Mars and why right now? The timing issue has everything to do with planetary mechanics (行星力学). As they fly their differing solar orbits Earth on the inner track, Mars on the outer the distance between the two worlds is forever changing. At thei

17、r greatest remove, when they are on opposite sides of the sun, they are up to 250 million miles apart.But once every two years, they line up on the same side of the sun, with just 35 million miles separating them. This summer just such an alignment (排成直线) is taking place, reducing planetary travel t

18、ime to seven- month. So that explains the when question.The why part is because of Mars potentially biological history. The surface of the planet is covered with dry riverbeds, ancient sea basins, and deep depressions that could only indicate long-vanished water.Previous rover analyses in similar lo

19、cations have discovered chemicals that form only in water, proving that Mars was once extremely wet. Now the mission is to look for fossilized organisms or signs of microbial life. Perseverance will collect Martian soil samples, awaiting another spacecraft that could leave Earth as early as 2026, co

20、llect the samples and fly them home for analysis.Finding life on Mars would be a highly significant discovery. The bragging (吹嘘) rights that go with being first to make the find is part of what makes the planet the hot new destination its become.51What does the underlined word “the case” in Paragrap

27、tic poles flipped in the past. And when it happens again, it wont be good news for humans.Now you might think, eight poles must be better than two. But the reality is that multiple magnetic fields would fight each other. This could weaken the earths protective magnetic field by up to 90% during a po

28、lar flip.The earths magnetic field is what protects us from harmful space radiation which can damage cells and cause cancer. With a weaker field in place, some scientists think this could expose planes to higher levels of radiation, making flights less safe.This could also interrupt the internal sen

29、se of direction in many animals that use the magnetic field for navigation (导航). Even worse, it could make certain places on the planet too dangerous to live in.
