32、 days later, we stopped at a McDonalds with an indoor play area. There was a slide there, and my son was soon playing with it, climbing to the top, then sliding down.

41、rt. The observers recorded how many stars they saw and how bright the stars were, and then announced their results online.The Star Count was part of a global effort to help scientists learn about how light pollution affects our view of the night sky. Whether these people saw thousands of stars or ju

42、st a dozen depended a lot on whether they were surrounded by darkness or shining city lights.

44、pollution. Light pollution doesnt only affect star visibility, but it can also do harm to wildlife. Artificial light can attract animals, making them go off course.

Stonehenge has long been of interest to archaeologists and the public. Thousands of people visit the area each year. In the past,

50、 archaeologists thought that burials at Stonehenge continued for only about one hundred years. Studies had shown that human remains were buried there between 4,700 and 4,600 years ago. That is about a century before the famously large stones were placed there.Recent tests of human remains show buria
