Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions(

)to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include

生物发

)Trees

Light

which

uses

the

headlamps

of

passing

cars

to

light

up

the

60

floodgates

of

the

Afsluitdijk,

a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global

problem-space junk!

Scientists

guess

that

there

are

over

500

，

000

bits

of

large

rubbish.

To

deal

with

the

problem,

Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation

and coming up with possible solutions. The plan. called the Space Waste Lab. started in October

2018

with

a

laser(

激光

)show

in

the

Netherlands.

The

unique

outdoor

artwork

of

LEDs

used

real-time

tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at altitudes of 200 to 20,000

- 2 -

kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk

there are.

To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being

considered is

，

which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a

controlled way. Upon reentry. the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star.

Roosegaarde envisages that if successful .burning space trash could someday replace fireworks

at large public events!

In

September

2018

。

the

RemoveDEBRIS

satellite

successfully

sent

a

net

to

catch

a

target

while

orbiting

at

an

altitude

of

about

300

kilometers(190

miles).

Sometime

this

year.

the

capsule

will

set

free

a

harpoon

that

has

been

designed

to

remove

space

trash.

At

the

end

of

its

task

，

RemoveDEBRIS

will let go a sail to bring the satellite itself. and. hopefully some trash, back into the

atmosphere. where it will burn up.

Experts

say

there

are

about

6

，

500

languages

spoken

throughout

the

world.

But

the

United

Nations

guesses that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.

One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues. It has a simple goal: to

provide

the

tools

and

support

that

people

need

to

save

their

languages.

When

a

language

disappears,

many other things can go away as well. For example, parts of a community's(

社区的

)culture.

knowledge and identity can also be lost.

Because

of

this

Udell.

co- founder

of

Wikitongues.

believes

the

process

of

bringing

languages

hack

must

be

done

by

community

members

themselves.

he

said.

is

no

way

an

outside

organization

can save someone's language for them.”

Wikitongues was started in 2016 as an open Internet collection of world languages. The

self-described

form

of

language

videos

that

people

speaking

the

languages

add

to

the

Wikitongues

website.

Udell

says

saving

languages

does

count.

There

are

many

examples

of

languages

to

use.

it's the mother tongue of half of the world's Jewish

population.”Another example is a Native A

merican tribe. The tribe's language went extinct in

the

1940s.

But

the

tribe

was

able

to

successfully

build

up

a

recovery

in

recent

years.

One of Wikitongues' volunteers is Theron

Kolokwe. who lives in Namibia.

His native language

is Subiya. which is spoken by about 30.000 people.

sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and

language teaching materials that can be used in schools.

Picture an iceberg(

冰山

).You'll probably imagine something white as snow rising up out of

a

blue

sea.

But

icebergs

can

be

all

sorts

of

shades.

They

can

be

from

a

frosty

blue

to

an

attractive

green.

Researchers and sailors have observed emerald(

翠绿色

)icebergs for years. A large piece of

ice

they haven't found out exactly why these icebergs look the way they do.

A

new

paper

led

by

Stephen

Warren

was

published.

It

all

has

to

do

with

what

icebergs

are

made

out

of.

Icebergs

break

off

glaciers(

冰川

)or

ice

shelves,

which

happens

mainly

around

Antarctica

and

Greenland.

They

begin

their

lives

as

snowfall

that

accumulates

over

time.

So.

icebergs

contain

air

pockets

with

the

form

of

bubbles

that

spread

light.

With

some

exceptions

and

rare

lines,

glacier

ice tends to look bluish white.

At

first

，

Warren

guessed

that

the

green

was

a

product

of

melt

carbon.

And

it

came

from

rotting

plants

or

sea

animals.

But

samples(

样本

)didn't

prove

it.

Another

idea

started

to

take

shape

after

they had found a high concentration of iron in a sample of sea ice from the Amery Ice Shelf.

When glaciers rub across land, they produce what's known as glacier flour. It is a product

of

bedrock

being

ground

clown

by

the

moving

mass.

As

glaciers

move

away,

these

remains

are

usually

washed out into water. in particles sometimes too small to be noticeable to your eyes. But on

land. soil and rocks contain iron oxides that often have rosy colors. like reds, yellows, and

browns-and

since

the

sea

ice

contained

500

times

more

iron

than

the

glacier

ice,

Warren

wondered
